'2,3,4: Dimensional Photographies' Juried Exhibition -- Call for Entries!

Type: Exhibition Opportunities [View all]
Posted by: Ohio University
Deadline: Fri, September 28th, 2018

2,3,4: Dimensional Photographies calls for photographic work that considers the object-ness of the photographic image. Contemporary photography is embracing modes of production that move the print off the wall and into 3-D and 4-D realms, exemplified in part by a return to historical processes. Photography like this distinguishes itself from retinal, transmittable media by calling attention to its own materiality, its presence, its singularity, and its unique identity as both image and object. A photograph may exist in relation to other objects, to its own display apparatus, to the space in which it lives; it may or may not have a stable position in time. This exhibition looks to the contemporary practices of artists as photographers who are engaged with object-based production to engage in the ideas of reproduction implicit in the medium. We welcome submissions that offer a wide interpretation of photographic practice. 

2,3,4: Dimensional Photographies will be a presentation of Alternatives, a biennial juried exhibition organized by Ohio University’s Photography + Integrated Media MFA program in the School of Art. Alternatives is open to all artists to apply.

In conjunction with the exhibition, a series of events will be presented as part of the opening festivities including a lecture by juror Brittany Nelson.Nelson works with 19th century photographic chemistry techniques to address themes of feminist science fiction and queer abstraction. She received her MFA in photography from the Cranbrook Academy of Art, and her Bachelor of Arts  from Montana State University. She is the recipient of a 2015 Creative Capital Grant in Visual Arts and a Theo Westenberger Foundation Grant for advancing women in the arts. Nelson was a 2017 artist in residence at the Headlands Center for the Arts and her work has been featured in publications such as The New Yorker, WIRED, Collector Daily, Aesthetica, and New Art Examiner.

 

Regarding the Application fee:
