Roman Franc will travel to San Antonio to create new photographs as part of his Group Pictures/Collectives Series, featuring groups in San Antonio. Since 2015, Franc has photographed groups across different countries and cultures, from natives of the Tanna Island in the South Pacific, to the U.S. Congress in Washington, D.C. San Antonio is a city of many communities, layered and interconnected.
The project also celebrates Contemporary at Blue Star's 40th Anniversary theme of community and what emerges from this project will be glimpses of a larger whole that reflect the city's diversity and spirit.
Franc (b. 1983, Brno, Czech Republic) studied at Masaryk University in Brno, obtaining an MA in Education (2008). Subsequently, he earned an MFA in Photography (2015) at the Institute of Creative Photography, Silesian University, Opava (Czech Republic). Currently, he is advancing towards a PhD while serving as an external teacher at the Institute of Creative Photography, Silesian University, Opava. His primary focus lies in non-traditional portraiture and staged photography. Additionally, he engages in curatorial and publishing endeavors.
Franc organizes and teaches photography courses and workshops for both private and public institutions and is currently represented by Boswell Mourot Fine Art gallery in Arkansas, U.S.A.
Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on view through June 7.
