Still (in) Motion
Art Exhibition Featuring Photography by Women
September 25, 26 & 27, 2009
Curated by Becky Jaffe and Lanell Dike
STILL (in) MOTION is an exploration by women photographers of stillness and motion through the camera lens. What does our eye see? A photograph captures a moment in motion which becomes a still image. Yet within that image there is the visual play of motion and stillness. Do pure motion or pure stillness exist? Is it possible to have one without the other?
Submission Guidelines:
Please email six (or fewer) photographs with an artist statement explaining how your images reflect the theme, Still (in) Motion. We will be picking photos from various women artists that fit together as a whole. We might want to use just one of your images or all six. We will let you know by August 14th. You are responsible for printing of the pieces and matting/framing if necessary.
