LANGER. Space for photography
LANGER in my district Neckarstadt in Mannheim is taking on a new form. The charming vintage shop is becoming a space for photography.
The concept looks something like this: We will be using LANGER. as an atelier, office and project space for photography - with exhibitions, book presentations, readings, artist talks, workshops etc. etc.. First and foremost it should be a meeting place for photography. But also a space where you can get a coffee, grab a photo book and linger cozily on the couch.
Since we both work, there are no regular opening hours. Check the bio on Instagram for current open hours or just drop in spontaneously if you're around.
We are looking forward to seeing you!
