CALL FOR ENTRIES | THE SUBLIME LANDSCAPE | AN INTERNATIONAL JURIED PHOTO EXHIBITION
Entry Deadline | July 31st, 2019
Notice of Acceptance | Aug 12th, 2019
Exhibition Dates | Sept 27th – October 21st, 2019
THEME | THE SUBLIME LANDSCAPE
The sublime landscape is defined as having the quality of such greatness, magnitude or intensity, whether physical, metaphysical, moral, aesthetic or spiritual, that our ability to perceive or comprehend it is temporarily overwhelmed. According to aesthetic philosophy, sublime landscapes can include any of five visual components: 1) great ideas, 2) passion, 3) the appropriate use of figures, 4) the right aesthetic diction, and 5) a skillful composition.
Praxis Gallery seeks the submission of photographic artwork that explores the many iterations of this idea. We encourage a broad, interpretive, and personal investigation of the sublime landscape. All capture types, genres, color and black & white, traditional and non-traditional photographic and digital post-production processes are welcome for submission.
