FRANKFURT.- The Frankfurt/Rhine-Main region is home to an outstanding potential through the abundance and quality of contemporary photography and its related media in its collections and institutions. In order to highlight this, the international Triennial RAY Fotografieprojekte Frankfurt/RheinMain was created in 2010 as a unique cooperation which will return after the first three successful editions from 3 June to 12 September, 2021 and is dedicated to the topic of IDEOLOGIES. Six institutions and eight curators are collaboratively planning and developing a kaleidoscope of exhibitions and a variety of other activities. The international Triennial RAY 2021 is also expanding. Deutsche B�rse Photography Foundation, DZ BANK Kunstsammlung, Fotografie Forum Frankfurt, Frankfurter Kunstverein, Museum Angewandte Kunst and Museum MMK f�r Moderne Kunst will show selected contributions and a wealth of newly commissioned positions in the RAY Exhibitions. Additionally RAY Partners in the Rhine-Main region will complement the program with individual projects. RAY 2021 will open with an international RAY Festival, which will welcome photo enthusiasts, artists and visitors of all ages from 3 to 5 June, 2021. The summer of 2021 will become the RAY 2021 Photography Summer.
