Artificial Eye: 44th Annual Photo Regional
June 24 - August 20
Reception: June 24 6-8 pm Troy Night Out
The Arts Center of the Capital Region is inviting photographers to submit work for Artificial Eye, the 44th Annual Photo Regional.
Impressions of life in built, urban environments present a challenge in photography, as the shooter’s own gaze often creates a heavy influence on resulting imagery. Street photography, by nature and definition, is often most successful when executed in real-time, unplanned, fleeting scenarios. The capture of specific moments, personalities and textures in urban environments creates the basis for the questions that street photography poses and the mystery that it creates.
Congratulations to all of the artists chosen to be in the Photo Regional this year
WHAT IS THE PHOTO REGIONAL
Since the late 1970s, artists within a 125-mile radius of Albany have entered for an opportunity to have their work picked by prestigious jurors for the aAnnual Photography Regional exhibition. The photo regional exhibition rotates between its host sites: Collar Works, Albany Center Gallery, and Opalka Gallery at Sage College. This year, The Arts Center of the Capital Region was invited to join this annual tradition.
JUROR
This year we invited Lena Petersen to join as our guest juror. Petersen is currently co-director of Carrie Haddad Gallery in Hudson, NY, where she represents a vast array of artists from the Hudson Valley. She curates and installs seven group shows per year and works one on one with art consultants, designers, and collectors to place artists’ work in prominent and private collections. She has also gathered curatorial and gallery experience at the Richard and Dolly Maass Gallery at SUNY Purchase, The Williams Center Gallery at Lafayette College in Easton, PA, and Gagosian Gallery.
Submissions will be juried by The Arts Center’s Curator in collaboration with juror, Lena Petersen.
