WATER ~ SKY

Entry Deadline: June 15, 2025, 11:59 PM CT
Exhibition Dates: July 19 - Aug 9, 2025

VIEW 2022 EXHIBIT

Water, sky, and the space between them are inherently poetic and symbolic. Their qualities are endless: water may be fluid, frozen, rippling, reflective, tranquil, or turbulent; the sky may be celestial, atmospheric, airy, or clouded. Colors span the spectrum—from reflective silver and deep indigo to crimson and gold. While black and white photography highlights the essence of water and sky through form, texture, and contrast, it strips away color.

​

From ice to ether, oceans to puddles, starry nights to reflections in glass—Praxis Gallery seeks photographic work exploring water and sky in all forms. All genres, capture types, black & white and color, traditional and experimental photography, and digital processes are welcome. Curated by the Praxis Directors.

THE SHADOW ASPECT

Entry Deadline: July 1, 11:59PM CT
Exhibition dates: Aug. 16 – Sept. 13, 2025

We find beauty not in the thing itself but in the patterns of shadows, the light and the darkness, that one thing against another creates - Jun'ichirō Tanizaki.

 

Praxis Gallery seeks photographic art that explores the formal, conceptual, and metaphoric implications of the shadow. Some photographs focus on the shadow as pure visual form expressed through the creation of line, shape, pattern, and texture, while others may examine the cultural and psychological implications of the shadow - exploring ideas of foreboding, internal conflict, passages into the unconsciousness, or other ephemeral interpretations.

THE FOUND OBJECT

Notification: June 12, 4PM CT
Exhibition Dates: July 19 - Aug 9, 2025

The “found object” is a concept rooted in early 20th-century avant-garde practice: the idea that ordinary, often discarded materials can hold aesthetic or conceptual value when reframed as art. A "found object" is a material artifact discovered and assigned aesthetic value in an artist’s hand. Found art may include a wide array of objects—discarded, forgotten, dropped, or misplaced—such as shoes, forks, shopping carts, signs, doll heads, abandoned cars, clocks, mementos, or any object that can be reimagined through the lens of a camera.

​

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, as a catalyst for examining broader themes such as subjectivity and socialization, memory and loss, or love and death.
