Abstraction: Envisioning a Different World
For this year’s concept exhibition APG is partnering with the Atlanta Contemporary to give you the inspiration to push the boundaries of photographic vision, and produce photographs that explore the idea of what’s real.
We encourage you to use the Atlanta Contemporary’s upcoming exhibition New Worlds: Georgia Women to Watch as a springboard to create work that moves beyond traditional ways of seeing photography.
We want to see work that creates abstraction whether through the use of color, form, composition, distortion, shadow, light, manipulated materials (montage or composite), or photo editing software, we want to see the world through your lens. This exhibition is an opportunity to envision a different world using your own unique photographic perspective.
