"A photograph is a secret about a secret. The more it tells you, the less you know." ~ Diane Arbus
PICTURES, NOT PIXELS is a global call for entry for silver-gelatin photography. Over the last few years, there has been a resurgence of analog film and traditional darkroom processes. The #filmisnotdead on Instagram has nearly five million images tagged. This show embraces those photographers and artists who record images of their world using film to create their images.
There are over 3 billion photographs uploaded to social media every day and that number doesn’t reflect the number of photographs taken, just the ones deemed worthy of sharing. Photographers and enthusiasts alike are reminding the world of the joys of seeing an actual print of an image, giving the captured moment a physical presence. Memories are made and shared by physical objects that can be looked at, touched, held, savored in a way unlike quick glimpses as images on a screen quickly slide by and then forgotten.
Pictures, Not Pixels will be on display October 7 – November 4, 2017 in the Mayflower Arts Center’s Lobby Gallery, along with the jury selection of best images.
ADJUDICATION
Juror selections are based on artistic vision, originality, technical execution, and adherence to the theme.
Jurors:
Nicholaus Arnold – Nicholaus Arnold received his BFA from Wright State University and his MFA from Syracuse University where he received the prestigious Shaffer Fellowship, quite a few pats on the back, and numerous “thumbs-ups”. He currently runs The Blue House Gallery with his wife Ashley and teaches only the finest of the fine arts at various colleges, and local arts institutions. Despite managing these multiple part-time careers he maintains his own studio practice in Dayton and exhibits locally and nationally with pointed works of art designed to generally make his audience feel at home with his weird sense of humor. He also really loves writing about himself in the third person.
Alicia Rubin – Alicia Rubin is a Miami County native. She graduated from Edison Community College with an Associate's degree in Fine Art. She later double majored and graduated from Antioch College with a Bachelor's degree in Visual Art and Psychology. For the past 10 years she has been working with the small nonprofit organization, We Care Arts, where she teaches adults and children with disabilities various art classes. In her spare time she enjoys many outdoor activities including camping and fishing. She's also a member of the Miami County Rock, Gem and Mineral Society and the SCA.
Samantha J. Stone – Samantha Stone is a graduate of Wright State University with a BFA with a concentration in Photography. She lives in Piqua with her husband and beautiful daughter.
