What Makes this event different?

Entry Fee: None

The Hite Art Institute at the University of Louisville is currently accepting submissions for the upcoming exhibition “Lensless”, which will take place this fall in conjunction with the 2019 Louisville Photo Biennial.

“Lensless” seeks to engage with photographic explorations of images that are created without the use of a lens. This may include photograms, chemigrams,  cliché verre and lumen prints or any other form of photographic lensless imagery that explore current trends in which the camera is superfluous to the production of photographic images.

Images can be abstract or representational. Images that have been created with pinhole cameras will also be considered. This group exhibition is curated by Mitch Eckert, Associate Professor of Art at the University of Louisville and will be on display at The Cressman Center for Visual Arts, University of Louisville, 100 East Main St., Louisville, KY from September 27 - October 26, 2019.
