CLOSED | Call for Entry: Online Group Exhibition - "Sculptural Photography” February 2020
“Is There a Key to Life” by Lynn Bierbaum | Ambrotype on Blown Glass, 2019
We are excited to announce that our February 2020 online group exhibition, “Sculptural Photography”, is being curated by artist and Analog Forever Magazine Social Media and Community Manager, Lynn Bierbaum! To enter, all you need to do is read and respond to the following prompt with your analog photography:
For this exhibition, we are looking to explore the ways in which artists blend the two and three-dimensional worlds into a sculptural piece of art. These pieces should be able to not only be looked at but also be able to be picked up, touched, or add some form of tactile experience to the work. Submissions accepted may use any three-dimensional element added to a photograph such as collage, assemblage, stitching, or painting, and may also include printing on different types of material such as wood, metal, glass or even a book format. We are looking for someone who seamlessly combines layers of imagery and material into a thought-provoking and inventive piece of art. These images should bring the viewers back to see more from the unexpected results of their photographic process. There is no specific image theme, just so long as it has a tactile quality to it.
We invite you to submit up to two photographs for this exhibition that capture the concept of this theme. We offer no limits to the photographs submitted, other than the fact that they are created with analog film or process. The best of these images will be showcased in an online show curated by Analog Forever Magazine's Social Media Manager, Lynn Bierbaum. This online exhibition will go live on our website on February 10th 2020! Please follow the directions below to complete your submission. Good luck!
The deadline for submissions is January 31st, 2020!
About the Curator
Lynn Bierbaum is a Minneapolis based Alternative Photographer and Glass artist. She is an avid traveler who is always looking for her next place to photograph. She started working in film back in 2010 and alternative photography in 2015 starting with Platinum palladium and then moving into other processes such as albumen, salt, van dyke brown, and wet plate collodion.
Lynn is also a glassblower who has traveled across Europe and the United States assisting, and working with well-known glass artists. Most recently working for the Corning Museum of Glass, in upstate NY.
Her current fine art work is printing wet plate collodion on her blown glass forms. Lynn’s work strives to find a balance between two and three-dimensional planes. She blows the glass vessels to create an extension beyond the photograph that is just as important as the image itself.
She has been recognized in Analog Forever Magazine as an interviewed artist in the 1st issue, Runner-up in Modern Collodion’s 2019 Wet Plate Competition, and featured in multiple issues of The Hand magazine.
