Juror Statement

Whenever I am asked to judge fine art photography, be that in a juried exhibition, a portfolio review, or a submission to the gallery, one question is always going through my mind: is this an interesting photograph, or is it just a photograph of an interesting subject? Selecting the top images for Atlanta Photography Group’s Selects 2021 exhibition was no different.

My preference is always to judge prints in person, as I believe the finished product, the actual physical photograph, is what’s most important, but the image itself must first be captivating. The subject doesn’t have to be exciting or interesting or captivating on its own: the photographer must use his or her own voice to make it so. The mundane can be beautiful as in Central Library Skylight. The light can change something simple into something stunning as we see in Truth Lives in the Shadows. The abstract can be fascinating as with Burlesque Artist, Clift Hanger. The photographs can be shot on the street like Guard Dog or elaborately staged as we see with The Glamper/ Birding, none of it matters, so long as it’s an interesting photograph, not just a photograph of an interesting subject. I didn’t worry too much about having wide range of subjects or an even mix of black and white and color.

"YOU ARE HERE"

"YOU ARE HERE"

Atlanta Photography Group
This exhibition is themed around a sense of searching, and the images should reflect the idea of “place” throughout the rural American South. The exhibition will be on-site in Zebulon, GA, in a historical building that formally housed the town’s first newspaper. This is a four-day the event that hosts photographic art collectors, artists, and visitors worldwide.

Thursday, September 16th – Sunday, September 19th, 2021

"For such a simple phrase, You Are Here, contains an outsized tension: between the implication that one is lost and the certitude of being located in a specific place. This exhibition explores that opposition in the context of the rural American South and reveals a region that is equally enigmatic: constant, changing, violent, restorative, exotic, and known. Taken together, these photographs offer a view of the rural South that is rich and complicated, with recognizable textures and tools, familiar guides, and evidence of things not seen. At their most successful, the artists included here rely on unique aspects of photographic vision, embracing and challenging photography’s assumed role as a faithful record of place. Calling to mind questions about the capacity and limits of a photograph to effectively tell us about the world we inhabit, then, the works on display are as much about photography itself as they are about the varied landscapes, people, and histories of the American South. "

Texas Photographic Society’s 34th Annual Members Only Show

We are proud to announce that Jurors Jill Skupin Burkholder and Dan Burkholder have selected 50 evocative images for Texas Photographic Society’s 34th Annual Members Only Show.

JURORS' REMARKS

With so many photographic possibilities of film, optics, editing, and processes, photographers seem like an impossibly diverse group of artists who fight any unifying characteristics. But as you’ll see in this imaginative Members’ Exhibition, the unity is there. The artists represented in this show treat the assortment of possibilities like they were handed the keys to the visual playground. Their creativity and visual instincts take flight in delicious ways.

TPS fosters an inclusive approach to the medium, blending a community of photographers who perceive the world with unique visions. From touching portraits (both human and animal) to sublime landscapes to perfectly timed street photography and still lifes, this show presents a diverse spectrum of approaches and styles. You’ll witness the joining together of talented photographers capturing the essence of their subjects, leaving us inspired and intrigued — a rewarding outcome for a Members’ Exhibition.

5th Annual Alternative Process Photography Exhibition

5th Annual Alternative Process Photography Exhibition

Juried by: Niniane Kelley, Brian Taylor, Ed Carey & The Image Flow
March 15 – May 28, 2021

The Image Flow proudly presents our 5th Annual Alternative Process Photography Exhibition, a juried exhibition featuring 42 artists working with a wide variety of historical and analog photographic printing processes.

Bromoils, Carbon transfers, Chemigrams, Cyanotypes, Gum Bichromate, Lithographic prints, Lumens, Photo Intaglio and Photogravure, Platinum Palladium, Salt prints, van Dyke prints, and Wet Plate Collodions (along with many multiple-process works) are all represented in this show. Each image is often one of a kind due to the nature of working with these non-commercial processes—mixing emulsions and coating materials by hand are customary to alternative process work, and hand-embellishing prints with ink drawings, watercolor, oil pastels, embroidery, or add additional flourishes to many of these artworks. The prints are made on a variety of unique materials including Fine Art papers, fabrics, metal plates, and wooden panels—we even have a photographic wall sculpture!

The exhibition is curated from over 200 submissions from photographers living and working throughout the United States—from Bryan Patterson in Fox Island, Washington to Sally Chapman in Lowell, Massachusetts, along with many California and San Francisco Bay Area photographers.

The 5th Annual Alternative Process Photography Exhibition features work by Francis Baker, Shane Balkowitsch, Diana Bloomfield, Lisa Brussell, Susan Chainey, Sally Chapman, Dana Christensen, Tom Condon, Matt Connors, Conner Cushman, Dora Duan, Laurence Elias, Frani Evedon, Steffani Frideres, Rheana Gardner, Jessica Greaux, Barbara Hazen, Kristy Headley, Victoria Hernandez, Susanne Huebel, Chris Ireland, William Johnston Jr, Marky Kauffmann, Doug Kaye, Kirk Lindgren, Xiaopeng Liu, Lloyd Matthews, Lou McCorkle, Robyn Moore, Maureen Mulhern-White, Eben Ostby, Bryan Patterson, Sarah Phenix, Michael Puff, Suzanne Roland, Anna Rotty, Anita Seltzer, Radka Tezaur, Karey Walter, Wilton Wong, Sara Yerkes, and Yelena Zhavoronkova.

Art + Science II

An Exhibition at A Smith Gallery 2021

There’s an inherent duality within the fields of art and science. Neither is right; neither is wrong. Rather, they are merely two fundamentally different ways of looking at the world. Yet there’s much to be gained by thinking about art and science within the same arena. The friction that results from their differences creates an energy that can offer new ways to consider thought processes, or a more broad and informed perspective.

The 33 photographs I chose for inclusion at A Smith Gallery’s exhibition Art + Science II are unified by the concept of dualities. This is not in reference to the dualities of art and science per se, but rather to the dualities in interpretation and meaning.

For instance, when I asked Norm Barker to describe what the photograph “Calamites” represents, his answer included a detailed explanation that it documents a fossilized plant from the species Arthroppitys bistriata. He also added that the white at the bottom represents the xylem and the reddish color above represents the center of the stem, which has been filled with quartz that over time has been colored pink by iron. Yet to me, I envision people standing close together, side by side, encircling a blood red sky. For you, there’s another interpretation. Perhaps it’s the in between knowing and feeling that sparks imagination and innovation.

Some of the photographs are much more literal. For instance, the photograph by Mark Taylor entitled “On Call” and the photograph by Nancy Nichols entitled “Hospital Gown in Water” address science by focusing on medical related subject matter, yet also raise questions about the underlying emotional components of our health care systems and providers.

Bremner Benedict’s series Hidden Waters/Desert Springs addresses the impact of climate change on the survival of desert springs, with the intent to raise public awareness to the potential of water scarcity.

Many photographs in this exhibition, including work by Daniel Kariko, Jo Fields and Alex Tumer turn to natural sciences, investigate the seen and unseen. The detail of Kariko’s portraits of insects, from his series Suburban Symbiosis offer a unique perspective that is not only invisible to the human eye without the aid of technology, but gives reference to the portraiture tradition of the 17th Century Dutch Masters. In Tumer’s photographs from his series Blind River, he uses infrared imaging technologies to shed light on sociopolitical and environmental concerns that exist in the borderlands of the American Southwest.

Ellen Sollad was fascinated by the beauty and mystery of the source images of ice crystals photographed through an electronic microscope by scientists Steve Warren and Van Walden. With the scientists’ permission, Sollad created a unique translation of their field work using cyanotypes. With an ephemeral approach, the photographs in her nontraditional artist book entitled “Field Studies: Ice Crystals of Antarctica” depict the fleeting elements of ice crystals.

Some of the photographs were selected for the emotional component. Whether the scientific element stems from the use of materials or subject matter, this group of photographs brought my mind to a place beyond intellect, offering my mind a time for contemplation; allowing formal elements of color, form, movement, and texture to guide my imagination.

Art + Science II creates a synergy uniting logical and creative thinking, offering a view to the invisible threads that connect us to each other and to the world in which we live.

Abstract – The Alternative Exhibition

The Southeast Center for Photography (SEC4P) had a recent call for Abstract (photography), juried by Blue Mitchell.  The exhibition call was looking for non-representational imagery from found objects in nature, man-made or figurative works, and images that do not attempt to represent external reality, but seek to achieve its effect using shapes, forms, colors, and texture.

This on-line exhibition will continue from October 25, 2020 on-ward as a permanent virtual exhibit.
