Call For Entry Deadline: October 26, 2011

In Time December 6, 2011 – January 7, 2012

Time is an essential element of science, philosophy, and religion. Nonetheless its definition has continuously eluded the greatest minds. For In Time, The Kiernan Gallery welcomes images that interpret and define Time as subject matter, whether it be in a historical context of the then and now, abandoned structures, time lapse, events and the intervals between them, or a crucial moment, preserved for eternity. In a sense, every photograph is an embodiment of time.

For this exhibition, juror Blake Fitch will select up to 30 images for display in the main gallery and up to an additional 40 to be included in the online gallery. All accepted images will be reproduced in an exhibition catalogue available for purchase. A Juror’s Choice and a Director’s Choice will be announced.

All photographic media are encouraged.

About the Juror: Blake Fitch received her BFA on full scholarship from Pratt Institute (1994), with a major in photography and a minor in photo history. She earned her MA in Arts Administration from Boston University in 2001. Documentary in nature, Fitch’s work has focused on the human condition, including themes of: identity, rites of passage, civil rights, belonging and the investigation of community in third world countries. Her work has been described as graceful and confident. The quality and breadth of her imagery has enabled her to receive a variety of grants and sponsorships including support from Kodak and Calumet Photographic. Her work has been exhibited internationally and held in the collections of numerous museums, including the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Worcester Art Museum, and the George Eastman House of Photography. Her work can be viewed at www.blakefitchphotos.com.
