Black Box Gallery is delighted to present a juried group photography exhibition centered on the interplay of shadow and light.
Photography, at its essence, captures the intricate patterns formed by these two fundamental elements. Shadows are crucial in defining relationships between subjects, adding both definition and dimension that enhance the quality of light within an image.
Throughout history, photographers have masterfully employed dramatic shadows and compelling patterns in monochrome works, while contemporary artists also explore ethereal and moody shadows to create rich textures in color photography. We are eager to see the diverse interpretations of shadow and light presented by today’s photographers in this exhibition.
Black Box will provide Free printing, Free matting and Free framing for all of our exhibitions. The photographers who are selected into the exhibition by the juror will provide a high resolution Tiff or JPEG file for our gallery to print.
We have 18” x 24” black frames. Our white mats are pre cut for 12” x 18”, 12” x 12” and 12” x 16” prints (we also have matts for other aspect ratios and a matt cutter). We print on an Epson Stylus Pro archival ink jet printer, on Epson Premium Luster Photo paper, in a color-calibrated environment. This is a very accurate custom print, just like a custom lab would print, we have over 25 years of custom printing experience.
Exhibition Dates: August 1-25, 2025
Each exhibition will have 26 photographs selected by the juror for exhibiton at the gallery.
An additional 50 photographs will be selected by the juror for exhibition in our on-line gallery annex.
All 76 photographs from the show will be included in a catalog available for purchase on Blurb Books.
All rights to the photographs remain with the photographer.
All exhibition prints will be kept in a flat file after the show for future sale and promotion for the photographer. This will allow the gallery to further promote our photographers and exhibitions to collectors, curators, critics and to the general public. Black Box will shred all gallery prints after 5 years of exhibition in the flat files.
Black Box will only print one exhibition print. If there is a sale inquiry, the photographer will be notified before a sale is confirmed, edition information will be discussed with photographer, the photographer will be sent a authentication document to be signed and go with the print to the collector. No sale or printing of file will happen without prior consent and agreement of photographer. All rights remain to the file and print with the photographer, to be used only with their prior consent. Exhibition print will not be sold, but used in our flatfile at Black Box Gallery only to promote the photographers work.
Black Box Gallery takes a 50% commission on all sales, 50% goes to the photographer. If artist prefers the print does not have to be for sale. Print will be for exhibition and promotion only.
