If you’re an avid cell phone photographer, an Ohio art gallery want’s to make you part of it’s new exhibit.
Daiv Whaley and the Brandt Gallery Cleveland, Ohio, are seeking submissions for a new instillation called At The Cellular Level - Cell Phone Photography as Art. The exhibit, which will open in November 2008, will feature cell phone photography from professional and amateur artists from around the world. But first, they need the photos.
From the artist’s press release:
“Considering that not so long ago photography wasn’t viewed as a fine art, I wanted to up the ante and really challenge the professional photography crowd to work in this more limiting medium of cell phone photography and see what kind of amazing images they can come up with,” explains Whaley, himself a Polaroid photo enthusiast. “Also, where once upon a time only photographers were lugging around camera equipment, today the majority of people carry small phones that can capture images that often find their way into news stories online and even on television. I personally have not heard of an exhibit with this theme before, and I’m excited to see the kind of work “amateurs” are making on a daily basis. This is going to be fun!”
To submit you photos email up to four images to cellphonephotoshow @ yahoo.com. Make sure you include the artist’s name, title of each image, and city and country of residence with your submission. The artist askes that you refrain from computer manipulation of the images, and send all images at the size they were created using the cell phone.
What a great idea!
