The 2013 Rencontres d'Arles present a radically black photographic journey from 1 July to 22 September. Therefore, Arles will be ‘in Black’ this year. It is a choice true to the festival’s spirit and motivated by the desire to appraise the current state of black and white photographic creation of the 21st century. At a time when colour dominates and when we question the huge changes this artform is undergoing due to new digital processes, it is important to recognise that black and white photography remains highly present in contemporary creation. What place does it therefore hold today? The dominant theme of the 2013 Rencontres d'Arles is the discovery of new talents and the (re)discovery of unknown artworks of established artists and other treasures of the past. As every year, the festival’s opening week, from 1 to 7 July, offers numerous events related to photography and taking place within Arles’ historic sites, such as the evening screenings at the Théâtre Antique, the Night of the Year, guided exhibition visits presented by artists and curators of the programme, talks, the conferences, gala events, book signings and the presentation of the Discovery Award. The Village and its exhibition space will be open with publishers and photographic institutions presenting their works and portfolio assessments. Up to the end of summer, The Rencontres d’Arles offer photographic workshops set up by professional photographers.
