EXHIBITION: Altered
Through various meticulous assemblage techniques, ALTERED features fabricated environments, imaginative dialogues, and memorials while examining alternative approaches to image-making.
EXHIBITION: Angle of Draw
Through the lenses of the natural landscape and propaganda imagery, Angle of Draw examines the intersections of power, sustainability, and whiteness in the United States. Bush draws from propaganda imagery from the 1960s and 1970s to create starkly lit black-and-white photographs in the studio and the physical landscape. Throughout his process, Bush considers the impact of the fossil-fuel industry on the natural environment, local economy, and future prospects of those left behind by corporations.
EXHIBITION:UNBOUND12!
TWELVE YEARS OF UNBOUND! In the summer of 2012, Candela Books + Gallery founder Gordon Stettinius launched UnBound! as an invitational exhibition to build community and support artists. From the beginning, UnBound! has celebrated photography as both a medium and a source of community. We have always offered a free submission for the open call in an effort to make the process accessible to photographic artists in all levels of their careers.
A majority of the exhibition’s participants come from the jurying of 400-600 open call submissions; in addition, each year we invite up to 5 artists whose work elevates the conversation and notoriety around the exhibition for all participating artists.
