Analog Wall to Wall: a celebration of alternative photographic processes OPEN CALL For SUBMISSIONS: Deadline Wednesday, April 1st, 11pm

In a world of digital image proliferation, join Propeller Art Gallery (Toronto) in a celebration of hand-made photographic prints. This exhibition will be part of the 2020 Scotiabank CONTACT Photography Festival presented May 6 — 17, 2020.

Through physical intervention, artists guide the process of photographic printmaking in order to achieve an aesthetic that is a fusion of artistic intent and physical process. These works not only speak to the artists’ passion for photography but also to that of process manipulation and uncertainty, all of which become evident in the completed works.

We accept all hand-produced analog photographic processes including but not limited to: albumen, salt print, anthotype, argyrotype, bromoil, chromo, carbon, cyanotype, gum bichromate, casein, photogravure, polymer-photogravure, silver-gelatin, platinum/palladium, van dyke brown, wet plate collodion (tintype), solarplate, zoneplate, ziatype, kallitype, mordançage... Two and three-dimensional works on paper, wood, metal, fabric etc... are allowed in addition to hand transfers/lifts of analog film and analog photo emulsion. Analog or digital negatives can be used in the intermediate print development process however, digitally produced ink-jet, c-print, or silver-bromide are not acceptable as a wholly submitted final work.

Works accepted will be based on a jury selection process and curated by Frances Patella, Peter Friedrichsen and Tom Taylor. You will be notified by email of the curator’s d
