Artist Blog

Every week an artist whose single image was published by Der Greif is given a platform in which to blog about contemporary photography.

As we strolled around St Peters square we literally bumped into Marco Bohr, a german photographer whom I met some months earlier in Lausanne during a group show we took part together at Musée de l'Elysée. Marco is a really nice guy, with great interest in japanese photography and he is the man behind Visual Culture Blog. Many photographers when they visit Budapest ask me which galleries they should to see. Marco did the same, but instead of keeping the info for himself, he asked me to compile a map of Budapest's art related venues and shared it on his blog. As a result I regularly get emails suggesting galleries or institutions to add to the Budapest list, and I advise every foreign photographer to look into this map first before they come. Marco built a network of photography enthusiasts living all around the world who contribute their time and knowledge to expand the growing list of Photography Maps of Amsterdam, Antwerp, Athens, Bangkok, Barcelona, Berlin, Brussels, Budapest, Gothenburg, Istanbul, Kraków, Lahore, Lisbon, London, Madrid, Melbourne, Mumbai, New Delhi, New York, Paris, Rome, São Paulo, Tokyo, Vancouver.

If you live in any other city with a noteworthy photography life and you feel the urge to do some charity work, contact Marco and get involved!
