OPEN CALL | IN-BETWEEN MOMENTS | GUEST CURATED EXHIBIT BY SARAH WEISS

Entry Deadline | Aug 15th, 2021
Notice of Acceptance | Aug 23rd, 2021
Exhibition Dates | Sept 18th - Oct 2nd, 2021


Theme: In-Between Moments | Guest Curator: Sarah Weiss
French novelist Georges Perec declared that we should found "an anthropology of the ordinary" as revolt against cultural and mass media exploitation of the exotic - the relentless parade of trauma elevated above the routine of everyday events. Perec's revolt against the frenzy of trauma (the shameful, the voyeuristic and the spectacular) was to excessively document the ordinary in daily life, meticulously accounting for everything and anything in one's immediate surroundings in an active attempt to uncover the unimportant and the insignificant.

Praxis Gallery seeks the submission of photographic art that explores the in-between moments of life and endeavours to notice the unnoticeable, the mundane, the banal and anti-climactic. "In giving value to the ordinary we, in turn, begin to value the space of our own identity and everyday 'normal' experience that lies outside of commodified and predefined trajectories of trauma exploitation. All genres, capture types, black & white and color, traditional and non-traditional photographic and digital post-production processes are welcome for submission.
