Alternative Processes – Deadline October 12th
Juror: Blue Mitchell, editor of Diffusion magazine.
For this juried exhibition at PhotoPlace Gallery in Middlebury, Vermont, we will define “alternative process” broadly to include images made using alternative, historical, and unconventional processes. For example, submissions may use historic print processes, such as bromoil, cyanotype, albumen, salted paper, photogravure, gum bichromate, platinum and palladium, and other historic processes. Also acceptable are hand-applied emulsions and polaroid or solvent transfers. In addition, we welcome images made using pinhole and plastic cameras and through-the-viewfinder techniques. Gelatin silver and digital prints combined with an alternative process or that depart from traditional practice are admissible. For example, digital prints of scanned wet-plate tintypes or ambrotypes are acceptable. Photographs will be evaluated on the strength of the image, not on the specific process employed.
To help defray artists’ costs, PhotoPlace Gallery will provide free matting and framing for the duration of the exhibition for accepted works on paper that conform to our pre-cut mat sizes.
