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.

FRAMES WITHIN FRAMES
Opening Night Reception: Mar 18TH 6-8PM
Exhibition Dates: Mar 18TH – Apr 1ST, 2023
Juror: Dallas Crow
Speaking of the power of photography, Garry Winogrand once said, “Putting four edges around a collection of information or facts transforms it.” Let’s take that a step further: what happens when you put a frame—in the form of a doorway, window, mirror, casket, another picture, or some other structure—in the photograph itself? It may intensify the focus on the thing framed, but what about what’s happening in the margins between the interior frame and the edge of the picture? How does the composition work as a whole? How do the elements inside and outside the framing device interact? What has the photographer gained by including a frame within the picture rather than making it the border of the entire image?
Praxis presents photographic art That explores a frame or multiple frames within an image as the conceptual basis for the aesthetic expression.

FEMALIA
A WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH EXHIBITION
Opening Night Reception: Mar 18TH, 6-8PM
Exhibition Dates: Mar 18TH - Apr 1ST, 2023
We are programmed to understand gender and femininity within narrow and restrictive definitions. Photographs, both historical and contemporary, often reinforce these definitions and boundaries that no longer serve us. Photography has the power to transcend all manner of boundaries. It can blur minuscule lines between otherwise dichotomous realms of physical and philosophical space. If we are to reflect on photography’s capacity to challenge concepts of gender and femininity, we enter into an extraordinary opportunity to re-envision and expand our understanding of all who identify as women. We can confront our programmed understandings and reinterpret, both what is in front of the camera and what is behind it.
Praxis Gallery presents photographic art created by or about women image-makers, including trans-women, femme/feminine-identifying, genderqueer, and non-binary lens-based photographic artists.

THE STILL LIFE
Opening Night Reception: Apr 15TH 6-8PM CST
Exhibition Dates: Apr 15TH – 29TH, 2023
Juror: Kimberly Witham
Still life photography, more so than other types of photography, such as landscape or portraiture, gives the photographer extensive leeway and precise control in the arrangement of design elements within a composition. Still life photography is a demanding genre, one in which the photographers are expected to be able to form their work with a refined sense of lighting, coupled with composition and design skills. The still life photographer makes pictures rather than takes them.
Praxis Gallery presents photographic art that investigates the genre of the Still Life. Submissions may explore classical to conceptual aspects of the still life, photographing object arrangements that intrigue, engage or entertain the viewer.

"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.
