New Color
Photography
Theme: Color Photography
For this juried group photo show Black Box
Gallery will look at what is the possible diversity, complexity/simplicity
and visual impact of contemporary color photography. How do photographers
use color to captivate, compose and stylize their subjects? There is a
strong tradition of color photographers from William Eggleston, Steven
Shore, Nan Golden, Andres Gursky, Jeff Wall, William Cristenberry, Cindy
Sherman, Annie Liebovitz and Gregory Crewdson.
Juror: Kelli Pennington
Kelli Pennington received her MFA in photography from
Syracuse University. She is an instructor of photography in Portland,
Oregon. Kelli works in both the fine arts and editorial fields. Her work
has been exhibited and written about nationally and she has won
fellowships and awards.

Each exhibition will have 24 photographs
included by the juror for exhibiton at the gallery.
An additional 30 photographs will be
selected for inclusion in our new On-Line Gallery Annex.
All photographs
from the show will be included in a printed catalog availble through Blurb
Books.
Rules/Guidelines: Black Box offers
free framing, matting and printing for our exhibitions. The photographers
who are selected into the exhibition by the juror will provide a high
resolution Tiff or JPEG file for our gallery to print. If the photograper
prefers, they can send in framed work or prints that we can frame for the
exhibition.
We have 18” x 24” black frames. Our white mats
are pre cut for 12” x 18”, 12” x 12” and 12” x 16” prints (we also have a
few other odd sized matts). We print on an Epson Stylus Pro archival ink
jet printer, on Epson Premium Luster Photo paper, in a color-calibrated
environment. This is a very accurate custom print, just like a custom lab
would print, we have over 20 years of custom printing experience.
All exhibition prints will be kept in a flat
file after the show for future sale and promotion for the photographer,
unless the photographer makes other arrangements. This will allow the
gallery to further promote our photographers and exhibitions to
collectors, curators, critics and to the general public. Black Box will
return ship the exhibiton print to artist if preferred.
File agreement for accepted photographers who
will be using our free printing services. Black Box will only print one
exhibition print. If there is a sale inquiry, the photographer will be
notified before a sale is confirmed, edition information will be discussed
with photographer, the photographer will be sent a authentication document
to be signed and go with the print to the collector. No sale or printing
of file will happen without prior consent and agreement of photographer.
All rights remain to the file and print with the photographer, to be used
only with their prior consent. Exhibition print will not be sold, but used
in our flatfile at Black Box Gallery only to promote the photographers
work.
Black Box Gallery takes a 50% commission on
all sales, 50% goes to the photographer. If artist prefers the print does
not have to be for sale. Print will be for exhibition and promotion only.
