BLACK & WHITE

Entry Deadline: Feb. 2, 2025 11:59 CT
Exhibition dates: Mar 15 - April 12, 2025

More than half a century after the advent of color film, black and white photography continues to capture our collective imagination. Utilizing tone, contrast, texture and shape, black and white photography strips its subject to only the most essential visual elements; revealing a sense of soul, substance and meaning – separate from the shifting sentiments, symbolism and cultural associations of color imagery.

 

Praxis Gallery seeks photographic works that demonstrate the fundamental qualities that make black and white photography an enduring, contemporary art form. All black and white genres, capture types, traditional and non-traditional photographic and digital post-production processes are welcome for submission. Juror: Ann Jastrab

View this theme's 2022 exhibition

Color is a dynamic dimension, defined by its three unique components: Hue, Value, and Saturation. These elements serve as the fundamental building blocks in the poetic and symbolic realm of color within creative photography. It's more than a spectacle; it's a psychological journey. Colors evoke moods, thoughts, and concepts with their mere presence, tapping into psychology, biology, and culture.

 

While black and white photography has its own artistic merits and has been historically significant, color photography is widely embraced for its ability to convey a broad range of information and emotional nuances.

 

Praxis Gallery seeks the submission of photographic art that explores the implications of color as a central device in the creation of compelling photographic art.m Curated by Praxis Directors

THE ARTIST INTERVENES

Notification: Jan 23, 2025 4 PM CT
Exhibition Dates: Feb. 15 - Mar. 8, 2025. 6-8 PM

​Photographic artists are reconsidering the potential of a photograph with a shift to making rather than taking photographs.  By using vintage and contemporary photographs as a starting point, artists create physically layered works of art that result in an object, often in reaction to the flood of ubiquitous imagery that digital and cell phone photography has afforded. 

 

Praxis Gallery presents photographic art or lens-based artwork that utilizes physical interventions and investigations of photographic surfaces that can include sewing, cutting, drawing, painting, tearing, bending, and weaving, all ways of interrogating the material qualities of a physical photograph to create new realities. Curated by: Aline Smithson
