Photo Alchemy. A Juried Exhibition of Contemporary Alternative Process Photography. April 1 - May 7, 2011 at 23 Sandy Gallery in Portland, Oregon. Photo Alchemy seeks to showcase the revival in alternative process photography. In recent years contemporary photographers have been taking a fresh look at early printing processes. From cyanotypes to daguerreotypes, these deep, dreamy images bring a unique style and surface to a photograph that can’t be achieved digitally. As darkrooms disappear we are looking for work made by artists who are exploring alternative process photographic methods‚ either as a response to the digital age or simply as a creative tool. Photo Alchemy will be juried by Laura Moya, executive director of the Portland-based photography non-profit Photolucida.
Submissions deadline is February 22, 2011.
