CALL FOR PHOTOS!

PHONOGRAPHY wants you!!  If you take photos using your cell phone camera, then you are just the artist we are looking for.  Do you print out your photos and enjoy them "off the screen"?  Well, if not , PHONOGRAPHY will make you want to!  PHONOGRAPHY aims to take your photos off the screen and onto the gallery wall.  So many folks take amazing pictures with their phones, and we want to showcase your talent.  PHONOGRAPHY will be a gallery showing of photographs taken exclusively with cell phone cameras.  The photos MUST be taken with a phone camera.  Any app you want to use is acceptable, but we want the prints of your photos to be SQUARE.  This is to give the huge variety of photos we will be showing a thread of continuity.  Many of the apps that we ourselves use (Snapseed, Hipstamatic, Instagram etc) produce square photos, and most of the editing apps we checked out can crop photos to square easily.  We realize that not everyone has a photo printer, so we will be posting info in the next couple weeks on the various photo printing options that we have researched.  It is very easy and surprisingly affordable to get prints made! 

The show will open on SEPTEMBER 20, 2012 at the TECH GARDEN in downtown Syracuse.  If you would like to be a part of our show, please email us by AUGUST 20, 2012.  We will reserve ONE  24x24 inch space for all who contact us by that date.  You are welcome to show as many photos as you want that fit in that amount of space.  One giant one, lots of little ones, it's up to you.  Just be sure that your photos are SQUARE.   Space is first come, first served, so if you want wall space, let us know ASAP.  IF we have any space left on that date, we will contact all artists on the list and offer a second space to those who have already registered as a participant. 

Once we have a FINALIZED list of participants, we will contact you all with details on dropping off your work and more info on the opening.  (We anticipate that to be around September 3-8th, tentatively)  ALL WORK MUST BE READY TO HANG!  We encourage you to be creative in your set up!  The organizers of the show have experience in gallery curating, visual merchandising, architecture,  and all sorts of areas of display-and we would be happy to help you with your set up.  Just ask us!  We have lots of creative ideas to share and will be posting some great display ideas on the blog.
