Sequencing for Narrative with Kristian Häggblom

Sequencing for Narrative presented by Kristian Häggblom

Sequencing for Narrative is a five-session workshop led by acclaimed artist, curator and photography educator Kristian Häggblom. This workshop will concentrate on the selection and order of images to construct narrative in photobook form. The workshop is intended for image-makers that have the beginnings of or an almost complete themed project and series of images. Throughout the course, participants will learn about ideas associated with the recent photobook phenomenon, such as: dummy to trade version, the tyranny of (postal) distance, the mysterious world of Japanese publishing and the photobook as object. Participants will gain further insight to photobook publishing, establish a sequence for their work and generate a plan to produce a physical book.

About the facilitator 

Kristian Häggblom’s curatorial interests are inspired by transdisciplinary art practices and new modes of documentary making. When Häggblom first moved to Japan in 1999, he co- founded/curated RoomSpace gallery in Omoide Yokocho, Shinjuku, Tokyo. While studying in Tasmania, he received an Exhibition Development Grant from CAST, to curate the cross-cultural Japanese Australian exhibition Paper Bridges which was part of Ten days on the Island festival in 2005. Since this inauguration, Häggblom has curated several large-scale exhibitions that have included the work of French photographer Mathieu Bernard-Reymond, Melbourne-based sound artist Philip Samartzis and Japanese artist group Chim↑Pom. When Häggblom permanently relocated back to Australia, he co-founded and was head curator of Wallflower Photomedia Gallery that was located in Mildura, Victoria. The gallery exhibited work from all over Australia, Japan, Finland, America, Canada, Italy, Mexico, England, Poland and Germany, in addition to showcasing work in obscure non-gallery locations such as a motel and prison through Mildura Palimpsest Biennale. More recently, Häggblom curated Tsuka: an exhibition of contemporary Japanese photography at the Centre for Contemporary Photography, Melbourne and is presently the Higher Education Course Director and MA Course Convener at Photography Studies College, Melbourne.
