20/20 VISION

2020 is coming, so… where are our jetpacks? Our reservations at the Moon Motel? And world peace?

2020 has yet to deliver on these futuristic dreams; instead, it looms full of conflict, crisis, and deep political division. This moment demands that we see the world unflinchingly, with eyes wide open, drawing on the clarity of hindsight and the perspectives that lenses and other photographic modes can bring to the world. What is photography's role at this turning point in history? How might it best respond to this moment? As we celebrate the 50th anniversary of Exposure, SPE's flagship publication, it is time to use the tools we have at hand, to reevaluate our past and actively establish our present as we forge our future. In the spirit of the essays and photographs Exposure has published over the years, 2020 Vision is an occasion to explore the connection between written and visual frames of understanding. Through image and text we have the power to soothe and enchant, unravel misrepresentation, provoke, investigate, inform, expose, advocate, collaborate, engage, and celebrate our connections as we work toward change.

20/20 Vision invites us, as artists, critics, curators, imagemakers, historians, theorists, and writers, to use our words and our images to define the state of contemporary photography. It challenges us to expand our vision of photography to be inclusive of adjacent modes; to build a new canon that accurately reflects our community and its diverse range of practitioners; and to see what is known to us with greater criticality and more probing analysis, and what is unknown with greater empathy.

As we approach 2020, knowing the risks of not speaking up or of speaking too loudly, let us be purposeful in our visual language. Though our discussions and explorations of contemporary photography and its relationships to and impact on the world, we can find inspiration to move our medium into the future.

N.Y. Photo Curator Call for Entry Theme: ‘Self-conscious'

Image: © Elinor Carucci, Mother puts on my lipstick, 1993

N.Y. Photo Curator Call for Entry
Theme: ‘Self-conscious'
Curated by Frances Jakubek
(Frances Jakubek is a photographer, curator, consultant and advocate for photography. She is the Director of Exhibitions at Bruce Silverstein Gallery in New York City and past Associate Curator of the Griffin Museum of Photography in Winchester, Massachusetts.)
www.francesjakubek.com

DEADLINE TO ENTER: October 29, 2019

Jakubek says, "This exhibition is calling out for image makers who are exploring visual depictions of the self. The photographs should reflect an awareness of existence and consciousness, whether depicting how we perceive our self in a greater conversation, (environmentally, politically, etc), or through self-portraiture. Our personal histories inform our responses to world events, relationships and different circumstances…how do we show this photographically?

Examples of the scope: Elinor Carucci’s photograph, Mother puts on my lipstick from 1993 is an example of direct personal information compared to an image like Patrick Nagatani’s from “Nuclear Enchantment,” discovering his home as it correlates to the history of war. We each have our own unique history and the way we view the world and our place in it; I am interested in viewing images that embody the importance and anxiety of being self-conscious."

10% of artist entry fees goes to the charity of the curator.
Jakubek chooses the Adaptive Surf Project.
https://adaptivesurfproject.com/

Another 10% will go to the first place winner's choice of charity.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CALL FOR ENTRY:
ALL entrants work is exhibited in a group online exhibition. Each entrant is asked to submit 3 images so they can have their own page with their images, bio, artist statement and contact info. In keeping with our mission of creating exposure opportunities and PR, we are proud to offer this feature. We hope this creates a vehicle that can take your work further and be seen by more people. No fewer than three images will be accepted to keep with the format of our website. Submitting less than three images will disqualify your entry.

The curator chooses one first place winner, one second place winner and three-five honorable mentions.

“Gentry, self-consciously at first, then boldly retrieved the purple stuffed Barney effigy from its hiding place in the non-functioning 1950’s Frigidaire that served, chicly and uniquely, as extra storage; a mid-century armoire of sorts. He placed the grinning, polyester, pudgy tyrannosaurus rex on the chrome and rayon Eames inspired, with a nod to Le Corbusier, Ikea sofa — theatrically coughing; grinning—what his Publisher father would call, “that infuriating, insouciant millennial grin.”
Gentry’s Father, The Publisher, “the poor boy from Jersey” that indeed did work for everything he had, the welder through college, the high school sports reporter and pharmacy delivery driver through young parenthood and graduate school, the three time married, the real estate investor, the player of the stock market, the young hell-raiser, the experimenter with recreational drugs, the actually pretty ordinary fellow with above average intelligence couldn’t understand his son’s insouciance. It frightened him.
Gentry’s Dad didn’t want sea level rise to take his seaside condo, he didn’t want to have to divest of his investment in cattle ranching in Texas because of recurring drought – he really enjoyed playing cowboy a week out of every year. Gentry’s Dad hated selling his small piece of the New Orleans Saints – he didn’t trust their corporal future. Gentry’s Dad still mourned the loss of his favorite golf course in Puerto Rico. Gentry’s Dad just hadn’t learned the efficacy of the insouciant millennial grin yet, he would…” From “The Insouciant Millennial Smile” BY Franklin Cincinnatus

JUROR | Kat Kiernan will be the juror for “surroundings”. Kiernan was raised on the coast of Maine. Now a city-dweller, the influence of her rural upbringing can be seen in her autobiographical photographs rooted in the natural world.

She has exhibited in solo and group shows throughout the United States and been featured in publications including China Life, Lenscratch, and The Woven Tale Press. In 2012, she was named one of Artpil’s “30 under 30” women photographers to watch.
Kiernan lives in Brooklyn where she is the Editor-in-Chief of the photography magazine Don’t Take Pictures. She curated numerous exhibitions as the Director of Panopticon Gallery in Boston and owner of The Kiernan Gallery in Lexington, Virginia. In 2015, she received the Griffin Museum’s Rising Star Award for her contributions to the photographic community. Kiernan’s writings on photography have been published in journals and blogs including Art New England Online, Feature Shoot, and Big, Red, and Shiny, as well as in books, including Agnieszka Sosnowska: Myth of a Woman (The National Museum of Iceland, 2019), and The Artist as Culture Producer: Living and Sustaining a Creative Life (Intellect, 2017).

Street Photography Contest Call for Entries.

Street Photography Contest Call for Entries.
Our eighth printed issue of AAP Magazine will feature the best projects showcasing the theme "Street".

Encyclopedia Britannica defines Street photography has "a genre that records everyday life in a public place."

Photographers have been documenting their environment since the invention of photography. The image "View of the Boulevard du Temple" by Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre, shows a Parisian street in 1838. Later encouraged by improvements in the portability and quality of cameras many photographers decided to record urban life. Charles Nègre, Eugene Atget, Alfred Stieglitz, Andre Kertesz, Berenice Abbott, Henri Cartier Bresson, Brassaï, Walker Evans, Robert Frank, Diane Arbus, Vivian Maier, Garry Winogrand, Lee Friedlander, William Eggleston... are amongst the many iconic photographers who captured changes in the fast-paced world of life in towns and cities.

Capturing the essence of the urban lifestyle is now both a popular form of art and an important medium of communicating the heart and soul of a society and its people.

Send us a cohesive body of work or portfolio - capturing the weird and wonderful moments unfolding around you! The subject is completely up to you. Any capture method or process, whether digital or analog, including monochromatic toning, is welcome.

Winners will receive $1,000 in cash awards, their winning portfolio published in AAP Magazine#8, extensive press coverage and global recognition.

All winners will have their work published in the eighth printed issue of AAP Magazine, a free copy of the magazine and their portfolio showcased in the Winners Gallery of www.all-about-photo.com.

With an eye towards beauty, quality and novelty, our stunning print edition of AAP Magazine showcases the winners of all the competitions organized by All About Photo all year long. Learn More.

Final Deadline is October 20, 2019
