Opening Weekend of the Photobook 2009

① memo 20190203 ~ Opening Weekend of the Photobook 2009 – Opening by Tineke de Ruiter († 2018) of the Weekend of the Photobook ten years ago , Saturday 7 February 2009 , organised by the Leiden University Master Photographic Studies , the website PhotoQ, Kunstenaars en Co, and the Nederlands Fotomuseum – a full weekend at two nearby locations, the SKVR BeeldFabriek (art center) and the Nederlands Fotomuseum in Rotterdam.
I vividly remember Tineke’s teaching, the workshop – wearing white cotton gloves handling delicate old photographs. Thank you Tineke.
