The photograph’s power as a narrative tool is derived from the impression that what is captured within the frame is an accurate representation of what actually occurred at a specific moment in time. As complete or comprehensive as any narrative may appear to be, it will always be subject to a process of including some elements and excluding others. These inclusions and exclusion are a crucial part of what photographic storytelling is all about - What is being presented within the frame to the viewer – and what is being left out or left to the viewer’s imagination.
Praxis Gallery presents photographic works that explore the development of visual narratives through the still image. Stories may take any shape or form; they may be literal or fantasy, documentary or fiction; complex or minimal.

THE FOUND OBJECT
International Juried Photography Exhibition
Opening Night Reception: Sat. Sept. 16, 6–8PM
Exhibition Dates: Sept. 16–Oct. 7, 2023
A "found object" is a material artifact discovered by chance and assigned esthetic value in an artist’s hand. Found art may include a wide array of items either discarded, forgotten, dropped, or misplaced – shoes, a fork, shopping carts, signs, doll heads, abandoned cars, clocks, mementos, or any other object that can be reimagined through the lens of a camera – so long as the artist believes the discovered object possesses a certain aesthetic or talismanic quality stemming from its appearance, or social or personal history.
Praxis Gallery presents photographic art that investigates this idiom: exploring the subject of the “found object” as pure visual form, detached from its history or utility, or conversely, the representation of the object as a catalyst for exploring broader issues such as subjectivity and socialization, memory and loss, or love and death. All genres, capture types, and post-production processes were welcome for submission. Juried by Jonathan Pavlica.

ORDER ≠ DISORDER
International Juried Photography Exhibition
Opening Night Reception: Sat. Sept. 16, 6–8PM
Exhibition Dates: Sept. 16–Oct. 7, 2023
Order and disorder, form and formlessness, anarchy and rule: how do these concepts function in art? How do they operate in opposition to one another? What is intentional–and what is left to chance?
Praxis Photo Arts Center presents an exhibit of photographic art that explores the concepts of order, disorder, or conflict between the two. Submissions may focus on these ideas as pure visual form expressed through compositional symmetry or disarray. They may also examine the cultural, social, or psychological implications of order and disorder; for example, exploring ideas of conformity or dissent, anxiety or calm, obsession or indifference, or other ephemeral expressions of this concept. Submission was open to all interpretations, genres, capture types, and post-production processes. Curated by Praxis Directors.

CAPTURING MOMENTS, CRAFTING STORIES
EMERGENCE
Opening Night Reception: Sat. Sept. 16, 6–8PM
Exhibition Dates: Sept. 16–Oct. 7, 2023
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.

YANKEE ENDURO
Opening Night Reception: Sat. August 19, 6–8PM
Exhibition Dates: Aug. 19–Nov. 4, 2023
Yankee Enduro captures the twilight of the American trucking industry as we know it from the vantage point of an insider. G.S. Broz became a long-haul trucker expressly to examine the subject photographically. This collection, shot in 2019 and 2020, serves as a living fossil record of what is soon to be the bygone age of combustion.
In addition to capturing big rigs in their natural habitat, Broz’s images explore the intersection of solitude and isolation experienced by the jockeys that command these beasts. Yankee Enduro is ethnographic in concept but avoids the human figure, favoring an emotional approach to the dirty work of cross-country commerce. Far from damning however, shades of beauty and liberation are woven throughout. Learn more about the artist at gsbroz.com.

He Found Himself, He Will Not Draw Passers-By Anymore
Artist: Sashko Ilov
Reception: Saturday Oct 15TH 6-8PM
Exhibition Dates: Oct 15TH - 29TH, 2022
"He found himself, he will not draw passers-by anymore" is a story that takes place between two empty beaches. The walkers on the beach and their experiences of day-to-day plights. Sashko’s artwork covers native and modern elements mixed together and takes a critical view of social, political, and cultural issues. While they use a variety of materials and processes in each project, their methodology is consistent.
