Grand Opening on 25th March 2022:  Gonçalo Fonseca and Karin Rehn-Kaufmann moderated the festivities revolving around the relocation of the Leica Store Copenhagen, with an exclusive program dedicated to great photographic art.

Grand Opening: this motto launched the festivities marking the reopening of the Leica Store Copenhagen on Friday evening, at its new location in the heart of the Danish capital. Imbued with the iconic Leica ambience, Østergade 3 offered guests an inspiring celebration of photography, with further highlights the following day. 

Grand Opening Ceremony. Guests were welcomed by Karin Rehn-Kaufmann, Art Director of Leica Galleries, who moderated the event and dedicated the evening to photography. To great applause, she introduced the LOBA Newcomer winner of 2020 and M11 photographer Gonçalo Fonseca, who shared fascinating insights about his in-store exhibition, Upstream, and spoke with her and the guests about his exceptional work.

Artist Talk and Workshop. The following day saw two additional highlights. Fonseca, the award-winning documentary photographer, and Rehn-Kaufmann met for an Artist Talk at the Skt Petri Hotel, where they took guests on a journey exploring the artist's impressive work. Shortly afterwards, participants in a photography workshop with Fonseca were able to benefit from his experiences with reportage projects and, especially, with the new Leica M11. Both events were booked out and deemed very successful by the delighted attendees.
