Vermont Photo Space Gallery in Essex Jct, Vermont seeks entries for a photography exhibition, February 7 - March 4, 2011. Free framing/ matting, Juror's Choice, Peoples Choice.
We create spectacle of our personal environments as an extension of our selves, our souls. We are also compelled to photograph the object-evidence of these lives lived. Have you captured images that show the spaces and things that outfit our personal or private lives? From backyard junkyards to attic hideouts and basement retreats, we mark our territories with the stuff, the evidence, of our lives. The subject matter is a collision of cultural anthropology, pop culture, domesticity, documentary, realism and sentimentality. By photographically documenting personal relic we prove the universality of the personal, we find connections and we share intimacies.
Look to contemporaries like Roger Ballen, Eugene Richards, and our Juror, Dave Jordano for inspiration.
Please see website for full details.
Deadline: January 18, 2011.
