Photography
Degenerate
In 1937, The Degenerate Art exhibition (Die Ausstellung “Entartete Kunst”) was conceived and held in Nazi Germany, where party propagandists portrayed, mocked, and vilified the works of renowned modern artists as evidence of criminality and deviance. Nevertheless, the event was more popular with spectators than the accompanying state-sponsored exhibition intended to display the more classical type of art advocated by the regime. In the contemporary context, one could suspect a passionate photographer possesses the means, motive, and opportunity to capture the debaucherous image. What is your interpretation of “degenerate,” and how does your work oppose the blasé mainstream narrative preferred by the state and status quo?
Degenerate is an international juried group exhibition open to photographers ages 18 years and older. All black and white, color, conventional and non-traditional photographic and digital post-production processes are welcome for submission.
Chiaroscuro
Darkness, shadow, and space have the power to communicate as much as light and color, but we can often overlook them in our exploration of the captured image. The essence of a photograph and other figurative artworks is a harmony of brightness, contrast, highlights, and shadows. What can the mind’s eye see outside the realm of luminosity and perceive in its absence? What is made evident or alluded to by being concealed? Chiaroscuro is an international juried group exhibition open to photographers ages 18 years and older. All black and white, color, conventional and non-traditional photographic and digital post-production processes are welcome for submission.

The representation of food has continuously been over the centuries at the center of the interest of artists and, subsequently, of photographers: first off through still lifes, then with the use of photography and even Eat Art. Food declares who we are and suggests the habits we have – gastronomical, social and cultural. This call intends to collect photographs that gravitate around the theme of food, conviviality and domestic hospitality.
