CALL FOR ENTRIES: PHOTOGRAPHS

The Slide Room Gallery will be hosting a large group exhibition of photographs under the theme of Backspace from October 26-December 3, 2012.

 

We are looking for new work that explores local backspaces: these could be undefined spaces such as the borders of public and private lands or spaces that explore the ideals of sanCtuary or retreat within rural, suburban or urban green spaces.  

 

Artists are are asked to submit up to work as jpeg files (max 5/person). Work will be juried with up to two images per person to be chosen. Selected images will need to be printed in 8x10 or 11x14 sizes for exhibition. No framing is necessary (prints will be installed on wall with magnets).

 

Backspace will provide a showcase for emerging artists as well as highlight new work from some established artists whose photographic practice explores notions surrounding 'backspace' and the contemporary landscape.

 

Submissions should be emailed to:Tara Nicholson with 'backspace' in the subject line. 

 

All artists selected will receive a $50 exhibition fee.

 

Deadline is September 15, 2012
