The Kiernan Gallery, call for photography entries: Both Sides of the Lens
Both Sides of the Lens: Self-Portraiture: A photographer’s most reliable subject is his or her self. By turning the camera on oneself the photographer is brought out from behind their lens, presenting themselves to the world as both artist and subject. Self-portraiture is often used to explore and manipulate identity. The photographer invites judgement and critique on not only their artistic message, but also their appearance and demeanor. For this exhibition, The Kiernan Gallery seeks self-portraits that provide insight into the artist; their stories, struggles and triumphs.
For this exhibition, juror Russell Joslin will select up to 30 images for display in the main gallery and up to an additional 40 images to be included in the online gallery. All images will be reproduced in an exhibition catalogue available for purchase. A Juror’s Choice and Director’s Choice award will also be announced. All photographic media are encouraged. Entry fee. Exhibition dates: April 10 – May 6, 2012
About the Juror: Russell Joslin has worked primarily in photography beginning in the early 90′s, and has exhibited his work in solo and group shows since then. In addition to being a photographer, he is the Editor and Publisher of SHOTS Magazine, an independent, reader-supported quarterly journal of fine art photography that reaches an international audience. He lives and works in Minneapolis, Minnesota. His work can be viewed at www.russelljoslin.com
Deadline: March 2nd, 2012
