Deadline for Entries: March 23, 2013   
Show Dates: April 12 - June 8, 2013 
Opening: April 12; 7:30PM  
   

Don't miss this chance to view and collect images from some of Atlanta's finest photographers. Each is represented by an image he or she has personally selected for inclusion in this annual exhibition.

 

This show is often a chance for photographers to show work they normally do not show. A photographer may have fabulous images that don't fit within a current or past body of work. This show is an opportunity to show these photographs.

 

Past shows have included images later selected for inclusion in APG's exclusive Collector Prints. The Collector Prints is hand-picked every year from work seen in exhibitions or critiques that deserves special recognition.

   


"A Fresh Look at Photographic Ideas and Materials"

Deadline for Entries: May 18 (Delivery June 21)

Show Dates: June 28 - August 24, 2013 

Jurored by Stuart Horodner, artistic director of Atlanta Contemporary Art Center and Beth Lilly, artist and APG Board Member  

  

For this year's Concept Show, APG is issuing a special challenge to photographers. In the past decade, digital technologies opened up new opportunities, while at the same time our dependence on it has become extensive. If disaster should strike and the power grid fail, how could you continue your work as a photographer? APG wants to see what you would do as an artist if you no longer had access to your digital files and could no longer plug into the grid.

We propose to start a dialogue by posing questions. Is our digital dependency causing us to overlook the image-making potential of new materials and knowledge that hasn't yet been used in fine art photography? On the flip side, are there creative new ways to use vintage photographic methods? Is it even possible today to utilize chemical processes without electricity?

We'd like to see work that experiments with installations and presentations that incorporate optics and visual phenomena. Consider mining the remains of civilizations past by finding new uses for light sensitive materials. Other options might include using existing prints as raw material for a new piece.

APG website.
