Shutter Hub has issued a call for entries to its OPEN 23/24.
The Shutter Hub OPEN 23/24 will bring together international photographers in a selected exhibition and promote the future of photography through diverse and creative imagery…
From 27 November 2023 to 02 February 2024, we’re taking over four floors of the ARB building at Cambridge University … transforming the space and covering the walls. We’ve teamed up with our favourite newspaper print partners, Newspaper Club, to produce this exhibition and we’ll fill the space with 100s of fabulous images.
Our OPEN exhibition is open to everyone (it’s in the name!) Enter the OPEN and have the chance to exhibit the work that you think best promotes you and your practice. The theme is ‘Open’, and we mean that – we want to see a diverse selection of styles and subjects and bring them together in an exhibition like no other…
In the run up to the exhibition we’ll also be sharing submitted images throughout the call for entries on our social media and blog, so it’s worth entering as soon as you’re ready and making the most of it. … Deadline for entries: 7 September 2023 (5pm UK time).
I’ve submitted six pictures from the Traces of Erewhon project (see blog 19th January 2023 ). My accompanying statement says:
Erewhon: or, Over the Range is a novel (1872) by Samuel Butler set in a fictional country discovered and explored by the protagonist, Higgs. The nature of the country is deliberately ambiguous. Traces of Erewhon is my response to the book: photographs merge place, perspective and scale in an attempt to create an imaginary nowhere, a visual Erewhon. Twenty-six picture are brought together with extracts from Butler’s original text in a book.
