Juror’s Statement For 24th Annual Juried Exhibition: Griffin Museum of Photography

When asked to jury an open-call exhibition, I view the photographs online with an open mind, and let the work dictate the direction of the exhibition. By looking for consistent formal and conceptual threads throughout the submissions, and following visual clues or signifiers from the work submitted, I hope to jury a cohesive exhibition that also features the best work.

Visual storytelling seemed to be the dominant thread throughout the work submitted and selected for the Griffin Museum of Photography’s 24th annual juried exhibition. These images were made by photographers who use the camera to explore and make sense of their world through the traditional genres of portraiture, still life, and the natural and built landscape. Their stories – told with the camera – ranged from straight, documentary photographs to constructed narrative work made on site or manipulated post-production by the computer.

The work that resonated the most with me was the constructed reality or narrative photographs. These photographs reimagine the traditional photographic image through manipulation of the photographic process or the act of making a photograph. My top three award selections all counter the idea of photographic purity or truth in photography.

In first place, the Richards’ Family Trust Award goes to Nancy Newberry. Smoke Bombs and Border Crossings featured a constructed narrative revolving around the myths and history of the state of Texas. Her portraits feature subjects acting out scenes – real and imaged based on Texas-folklore.

In second place, the Arthur Griffin Legacy Award goes to Andy Mattern. His series, Average Subject / Medium Distance features Postmodernist images that are almost anti-photographic – made through computer manipulations of “found  objects” or materials usually associated with the average college photo darkroom. His work is painterly and clever,reflecting early 20th century constructionist painting.

In third place, the Griffin Award goes to Molly Lamb.Untitled, The Fog is a dreamy subjective visual manifestation of memories from childhood,constructed and re-imagined years later in the camera, and realized in the form of a 2-diminsional photographic print

What makes a successful photograph to me comes down to the image. Based on many factors including light, subject matter, and composition, I ask, “Does the image work?”. I really don’t care how the photographer arrived at the image; the only thing that matters is if the image resonates with my visual sensibilities, which are totally subjective.  

-Richard McCabe, Curator of Photography, Ogden Museum

ELIGIBILITY: This Call for Entries is open to all member photographers. Entrants must be members of the Griffin Museum of Photography (with an expiration after 4/1/2018). We do not advocate for members to join the museum for this juried opportunity only. We always welcome new members as part of our family and offer a broad range of member opportunities. While some opportunities are for long distance members like our on-line classes, we are working on increasing our offerings this year for distance members. The Griffin Museum invites member photographers working in all mediums, styles and schools of thought to participate. Experimental and mixed techniques are welcome. There is no theme. The juror will choose between 50 – 60 photographs. We ask the juror to TRY not to choose more than one photograph per photographer. The juror will choose the recipients of the monetary awards. We encourage submitting images from a singular, unified body of work for a cohesive selection for the Juried Exhibition. Artwork selected for gallery exhibition will be limited to FRAMED SIZE of 30×40 inches and under.

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.
