Juror: Sylvia de Swaan
One of the most fascinating aspect of optics is the phenomenon of reflection. Light bouncing off of water, mirrors, bright surfaces creates a simulacrum of the object reflected. For this exhibition, we seek photographs of reflection. Any surface, any subject, any style. Surprise us with your reflected imagery.
PhotoPlace Gallery is honored that Sylvia de Swaan will serve as the juror for the exhibition “Again: Reflections and Photography.” For this exhibition Sylvia will choose forty photographs featuring trees in any form for exhibition at PhotoPlace Gallery from November 8th through December 3rd. She will also choose an additional thirty-five photos for the gallery’s “On-Line Annex.†All selected work will be included in a full-color exhibition catalogue available for purchase. To help artists defray costs, PhotoPlace Gallery offers to mat and frame work selected for exhibition free of charge, providing artists print their images to our pre-cut mat and frame sizes. Submission fee: $25 for five photos, $6 each additional photo.
