HOME

Entry Deadline: Oct 15, 2024 11:59 CST
Exhibition dates: Nov. 16 - Dec 14, 2024

The notion of home transcends conventional meanings and interpretations. Beyond its physical manifestation as a shelter, home unfolds as a dynamic concept that resonates across the human experience. It embodies not only a tangible space but also a repository of emotions, memories, and a sense of belonging. 

 

Yet the concept of home is not without its complexities. The exploration of home involves an introspective journey, unraveling layers of meaning and confronting the nuances of attachment and detachment, personal growth, and familial conflict. Transience or instability can evoke feelings of displacement, making it difficult for individuals to perceive the home as a nurturing space.

 

Praxis Gallery seeks photographic art that explores the idea, space, or memory of home. A broad interpretation of the theme is encouraged. Curated by Praxis Directors.

FRAMES WITHIN FRAMES

Entry Deadline: Nov. 3, 2024 11:59PM
Exhibition Dates: Dec. 21, 2024 - Jan. 11, 2025

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 seeks photographic art that explores a frame or multiple frames within an image as the conceptual basis for the aesthetic expression. Juror: Dallas Crow

EMPTY PLACES :
ABANDONED SPACES

Notification: Oct. 12, 2024 11:59 CST
Exhibition dates: Nov. 16 - Dec 14, 2024

Through the visual representation of abandoned spaces, artifacts of history are at once new but decayed, ancient yet fresh. The past takes on new life in these forsaken, ruined, or empty spaces as we wonder, Who were the people who lived and worked here? What were their lives like? What were their stories? Where did they go?

 

Praxis Gallery presents photographic art that explores the visual and social significance of what is left behind, in which crumbling factories, derelict churches, private homes, and other empty places serve as the basis for creative investigation.  Juried by Robi Chakraborty
