 International Juried Photography Exhibition

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.

PRAXIS PRESENTS A SOLO EXHIBITION

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.
