Theme: The Artist Intervenes [Some Assembly Required] | Call for Entries | An International Juried Photo Exhibition. Entry Deadline: January 15, 2025. Notice of Acceptance: January 23, 2025. Exhibition Dates: February 15, 2025 – March 8, 2025. Application Link: see Prospectus link below. Theme: The Artist Intervenes [some assembly required] | Curator: Aline Smithson. Photographic artists are reconsidering the potential of a photograph with a shift to making rather than taking photographs. By using vintage and contemporary photographs as a starting point, artists create physically layered works of art that result in an object, often in reaction to the flood of ubiquitous imagery that digital and cell phone photography has afforded. Praxis Gallery seeks photographic art or lens-based artwork that utilizes physical interventions and investigations of photographic surfaces that can include sewing, cutting, drawing, painting, tearing, bending, and weaving, all ways of interrogating the material qualities of a physical photograph to create new realities. ACCEPTANCE | AWARDS: Up to 38 images will be selected by the juror for exhibition at Praxis Gallery. A Directors’ Choice and five Honorable Mentions will be awarded and featured in the exhibition, the printed show catalog, and the online exhibit gallery. Directors’ Choice receives free entry into three juried calls of their choice and a complimentary exhibit book.
