This year the 12th Annual Self-Published Photobook Show had one call for entry which will result in live exhibitions at Davis Orton Gallery plus a live exhibition at the Griffin. There will be an Online Catalog as well.  The Griffin Museum exhibition will be live in the Atelier Gallery at the Griffin. The Griffin will link the exhibition to its Photography Artist Book Initiative on-line gallery as well.

The jurors were Karen Davis and Paula Tognarelli. Karen Davis is the Curator/Co-owner of the Davis Orton Gallery. Paula Tognarelli is the Executive Director & Curator of the Griffin Museum of Photography as of the jurying period.

PHOTOBOOK, an annual competition, was open to photographers in the United States and abroad who have self-published a photobook.  There are growing options available for self-publishing a book such as on-demand (blurb, lulu, magcloud, etc.); small run offset or web printing/publishing firms, binderies. If they have been hand-made/bound, they must be available in multiples of at least 25.

Entrants were able to submit up to three different titles that are self-published photobooks of any size, format, or style.

The photobooks were  juried by their PDFs. They were judged on the basis of: book design including page layouts, text, cover; strength of the photography;  and emotional impact of the overall book. All judging was at the complete discretion of the gallery/museum and all decisions of the gallery/museum were final.

All submissions had to be original works of authorship created by the photographer who submitted the submission.

The Davis Orton Gallery will break the photobooks into 2 exhibitions. Photographers with last names beginning with A through K will run at Davis Orton Gallery from November 20 – December 5, 2021.

Photographers with last names beginning with M through W will run at Davis Orton Gallery December 5 – December 19, 2021.

The Griffin Museum’s Photobook exhibition will be January 6 – February 27, 2022 in the Atelier Gallery.

Floor Plan

Amy Rindskopf's Terra Novus

At the market, I pick each one up, pulled in by the shapes as they sit together, waiting. I feel its heft in my hand, enjoy the textures of the skin or peel, and begin to look closer and closer. The patterns on each individual surface marks them as distinct. I push further still, discovering territory unseen by the casual observer, a new land. I am like a satellite orbiting a distant planet, taking the first-ever images of this newly envisioned place.

This project started as an homage to Edward Weston’s Pepper No. 30 (I am, ironically, allergic to peppers). As I looked for my subject matter at the market, I found that I wasn’t drawn to just one single fruit or vegetable. There were so many choices, appealing to both hand and eye. I decided to print in black and white to help make the images visually more about the shapes, and not about guessing which fruit is smoothest, which vegetable is greenest.

Artistic Purpose/Intent

Artistic Purpose/Intent

Tricia Gahagan

 

Photography has been paramount in my personal path of healing from disease and

connecting with consciousness. The intention of my work is to overcome the limits of the

mind and engage the spirit. Like a Zen koan, my images are paradoxes hidden in plain

sight. They are intended to be sat with meditatively, eventually revealing greater truths

about the world and about one’s self.

 

John Chervinsky’s photography is a testament to pensive work without simple answers;

it connects by encouraging discovery and altering perspectives. I see this scholarship

as a potential to continue his legacy and evolve the boundaries of how photography can

explore the human condition.

 

Growing my artistic skill and voice as an emerging photographer is critical, I see this as

a rare opportunity to strengthen my foundation and transition towards an established

and influential future. I am thirsty to engage viewers and provide a transformative

experience through my work. I have been honing my current project and building a plan

for its complete execution. The incredible Griffin community of mentors and the

generous funds would be instrumental for its development. I deeply recognize the

hallmark moment this could be for the introduction of the work. Thank you for providing

this incredible opportunity for budding visions and artists that know they have something

greater to share with the world.
