"Myself A Memory," Exhibition of work by Tobia Makover (M.F.A. photography, 2001)

Tobia Makover (M.F.A. photography, 2001) is exhibiting over 600 of her images in a pop-up installation curated by artist and professor, Marcus Kenney (M.F.A. photography, 1998). "Makover is a fine art photographer and mixed media artist whose work creates intrigue through timeless and emotive imagery. Each piece starts with a photograph, the soul of her work. Makover then encompasses many layers of medium that she paints, carves, torches and then preserves in wax and resin through an encaustic process that dates back to the 1st Century, BCE." Visit her website at www.tobiamakover.com.

Call for Submissions
Submission Deadline – January 10, 2016

Dedicated in Memory of Ruth Bernhard and to her Creative Spirit

Opening Reception, Saturday, February 13th, 2015 6-9pm

This juried exhibit explores the artistic and creative view of the body and its form, celebrating the nude in photography by embracing a variety of styles. We welcome the timeless elegance of a classical study and alternative and provocative styles. Studies of the whole or partial human form, nude or semi-nude are eligible.
This year we are happy to announce that we, Michael and Chelsea Granger of LightBox, will jury The Photographic Nude. Having had great jurors over the first 5 years of this series, the selection process has returned to those that conceived of the exhibit. We are honored to be able to put our signature on the exhibit, look forward to the artist’s contributions, and are excited to see where the exhibit goes. Once again this year, the exhibit will also be published online in Blur Magazine.
“From Edward Weston to Joel-Peter Witkin, the nude as a subject has been approached by photographers throughout history. From the classic simplicity of Weston to the complex, evocative, and morose style of Witkin, capturing the human form remains a timeless yet challenging pursuit among photographers. At its best, it is beautiful, and when not, it’s just a naked body looking out of place.”
~Michael and Chelsea Granger

The Photographic Nude 2016 Exhibit will be published in Blur magazine in the Spring of 2016.

CALLING FOR SUBMISSIONS
DEADLINE November 4th, 2015 23:59 EST Juror: Gary Braasch 
Water can be as beautiful and gentle as a morning dewdrop on a green leaf and as destructive as the raging of a river in flood.  We are made of oceans and rivers; an adult human body is 60% water, and a person can go little more than four days without drinking water.

Today water presents us with a paradox. The ocean levels are rising, and some areas are experiencing inundation, while other parts of the world are suffering unparalleled drought. Clean drinking water has become a precious commodity.

With this dichotomy in mind, how does the photographer depict the full range of our relationship with water? The beauty of oceans and rivers has been a source of inspiration for artists for ages, and photographers are no exception.  Who hasn't been seduced by the glint of the sun off a rippling body of water?  And yet, to be responsible custodians of our only world we have to look at the effects of the human mismanagement of water.

We're casting a wide net for this exhibition, inviting photographs that illustrate the beauty of water in all its mutable forms, and also images depicting our increasingly difficult relationship with water.  Water as muse, water as destroyer; the creative possibilities are limitless.

Seities & Selves

CALLING FOR SUBMISSIONS
DEADLINE December 2nd, 2015 23:59 EST
Juror: Aline Smithson
Self as subject, one's uniqueness in scope, portraiture by design.
"Seity" is an uncommon word which, as defined by Webster, is "A quality peculiar to oneself; selfhood; individuality".  It could be seen as the essential quality of the true self-portrait: an expression of what makes the subject unique and defines her/his character in some way. This does not imply an exact replication of the photographer's appearance. Rather, it goes below the surface to reveal something of the essence of the photographer's psyche. An example would be the self portraits of Chuck Close, which provide an uncanny and discomfiting glimpse into his psyche. Self portraits do not have to represent objective outer reality; consider the photos of Cindy Sherman, none of which "look like her" but all have a relationship to some facet of her selfless, her seity.

In this age of the ubiquitous throwaway selfie it's an even greater and more worthwhile challenge to create a self portrait that expresses one's uniqueness and individuality. And that's the challenge we're putting forth for this exhibition: to present an image that defines an aspect of your true essence.
