 International Juried Photography Exhibition

 LANDSCAPES

Rescheduled Opening Night: January 31, 2026. 6-8PM
Exhibition Dates: Jan 20 - Feb 14, 2026

Landscape photography reflects our ongoing dialogue with the world around us. Sometimes vast and panoramic, other times intimate or microscopic, the landscape can be a literal space—or a symbolic one. Many images in this exhibition celebrate nature in its pure, untouched state; others examine how human presence shapes, disrupts, or defines the land.

Beyond aesthetic beauty, these photographs carry emotional and psychological resonance. They reveal traces of memory, loss, affection, and longing embedded in place.

 

This exhibition brings together photographic artwork that offers a broad, interpretive, and personal investigation of the landscape—understood as a physical environment, an imagined terrain, or a conceptual space. Juror | Aline Smithson

THE ABSTRACT IMAGE

Rescheduled Opening Night: January 31, 2026. 6-8PM
Exhibition Dates: Jan 20 - Feb 14, 2026

The Abstract Image presents photographic work that moves away from literal representation and toward form, perception, and visual structure. Rather than describing the world as it appears, the photographs explore abstraction as a way of seeing—emerging through color, light, shadow, texture, shape, and line. Attention shifts from recognizable subjects to the formal qualities of the photographic image itself, emphasizing surface, composition, and visual relationships. Meaning arises not through depiction, but through how images are constructed and experienced.

Together, the works invite viewers to engage photography as both a perceptual and conceptual medium—one that operates through intuition, ambiguity, and formal inquiry. The exhibition brings together a range of lens-based approaches that demonstrate how abstraction continues to expand the expressive possibilities of photography. Juried by the Praxis Directors.

THE SUBTLETY OF PLACE

A Solo + Artist Talk Exhibition by

Opening Night Reception: Aug 23, 2025, 4-6PM 
Exhibition Opens: Ongoing

Carl Schulze’s black and white silver gelatin prints offer a quiet yet powerful meditation on landscape. These handmade prints demonstrate the expressive range and tonal depth of traditional darkroom work—surpassing anything achievable through inkjet. His photographs are not quick captures, but deliberate efforts to distill the subtle character of a place through time, light, and close attention.

POLAROID: The Instant Image

Opening Night Reception: Feb 21, 6 - 9 PM
Exhibition Dates: Feb 21 - Mar 14, 2026

POLAROID: The Instant Image presents instant photography as a material, analog practice—where each work exists not only as an image, but as an object shaped by chemistry, scale, handling, and time. These photographs carry visible traces of their making: irregular surfaces, tonal shifts, and the marks of immediacy.

The exhibition features a range of instant processes, including Polaroid, Fuji Instax, peel-apart films, large-format 4×5 instant materials, emulsion lifts, and image transfers. Some works appear as original instant prints; others are reproduced from high-resolution scans and printed at true instant-film scale. Together, they emphasize material presence, unpredictability, and touch. Curated by the Praxis Directors.

My Floating World: Views from Pacific Coast Highway draws inspiration from Hokusai’s Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji and Hiroshige’s Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido Road, while also acknowledging Ruscha, Hockney, and cinematic road visions like Easy Rider. Luke, a former Hollywood location scout, balances insider knowledge of Los Angeles with an outsider’s perspective, capturing both dreamlike allure and stark beauty. His photographs reveal the pathos and wonder of Southern California’s Pacific Coast Highway, from Dana Point to Malibu—America’s Western Sea Road.

"In my work, I explore the parallels between countries struggling with identity and the youth learning how to define themselves. Issues like religion, gender and sexuality, and generational trauma all form one's identity. Even in distressed nations, teenagers must endure the universally challenging conflict of becoming oneself in a fractured world and claiming their own independence from those holding power over them. My work illuminates their pain, joy, heartache, and triumph".

Closing Night Reception: Sat. Oct. 19, 6–8PM
Exhibition Dates: June 15 – Oct 19, 2024

Most of the images in this exhibit were taken in Lyon, France, between 1974 and 1988. I found Lyon to be a fascinating place to explore, offering countless observation spots. In black and white photography, pinpointing the exact date of a picture can be challenging without overt markers of time and place. The photographers who influenced me during this period included Walker Evans, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Diane Arbus, and Brassaï.

'Fargo, North Dakota is the muse for Minnesota photographer W. Scott Olsen's black and white meditation on the richness of human experience in all its raw and unfiltered beauty…In the end, what emerges is a black-and-white celebration of life in all its colors—a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, the enduring beauty of nature, and the interconnectedness of all things. The world viewed through Scott's lens is at times formidable, at times inviting, at times solemn, at times lyrical, but always, it is a world bursting with meaning'. Ami Vitale

"I’m thrilled to share a behind-the-scenes look at lives we don’t usually see. This family travels eight months of the year; Dad is a Midway Supervisor and Mom homeschools the kids. As the kids enter their teen years, questions arise about their schooling, travel, and eventual career choices. I came to this project fascinated with this nomadic, dynamic lifestyle. It led me to wonder about our dominant cultural beliefs of what a ‘healthy’ or ‘normal’ childhood looks like. To my surprise, I realized that our upbringing had much more in common than I thought.” - Debra

Hollywoodland is a series of portrait photographs that examines issues of gender that lie beneath the glamourised aesthetic surface of the 1950s and 1960s. Inspired by my endless fascination with classical Hollywood cinema, this series explores women’s idealisation, objectification, and vilification within society as propagated by the silver screen.

Portraits: Past & Present,  is the culmination of a group project at the Cokato Corn Carnival, led by photojournalist, Richard Sennott. The 74th Cokato Corn Carnival was photographed by Richard’s students using the antique daylight photo studio of Gust Akerlund located on Main St., Cokato, Minnesota.

 

The daylight photo studio was built in 1904 and features original painted scenes and backdrops. Workshop members captured photographs of carnival performers and the town's people. The pictures were presented in a gallery photo show at the Cokato Museum – and are now a part of the museum’s permanent collection. The students' pictures will be presented as a Pop-Up exhibit at Praxis Gallery.

This exhibition is the product of the Exhibition Preparation Workshop taught by Alan Shefland. During this six-week course, budding photographers Maggie Merkow, Kimerly Miller, Susan Nelson and Katherine Sanchez learned about the complex considerations that go into preparing for a show.


Participants delved into visual storytelling, discovering how meticulous organization, consistent image quality, sequencing, and editing can transform a group of raw images into a compelling narrative. Each student honed their selections and refined their compositions, resulting in a cohesive ensemble of five exhibition-ready images. This exhibition invites viewers to witness new perspectives and narratives, where passion meets precision. Every image tells a story, and the journey from raw capture to refined exhibition is an art form in itself.
