We are too busy installing this week to jury, so thought we'd extend the deadline by a few days!
Four by Six Equals Twenty-Four
April 2012 (Exhibition)
March 5th, 2012 (entry deadline)
About the Exhibition:
The pervasiveness of digital media has altered our consumption of photography. Most photographs live in computers and many of us no longer buy snapshot prints. If we do, we pick the best shots to print and know what we’ll be getting beforehand. No longer does one set of photographs on a roll of film include Christmas and summer vacation together.
For this exhibition, we will select images from various artists to present as the supposed content of a single roll of film. Keeping with the roll of film theme, we will pick 24 images. The gallery will print the work and sell the content of the entire show as a set of 4x6 inch prints. The ability to walk out of the gallery with prints of the entire exhibition for an affordable price may give many people their first taste of art ownership.
The theme is totally open. We encourage work that plays with the idea of what a 4x6 inch photographic print can be. Text, digitally created works, scanned images, video frame grabs, or anything else is an option here as well as traditional photography.
Eligibility:
Open to all artists worldwide except undergraduate students. Work must be uneditioned (not a limited, numbered edition).
