Alternative Process and the Handmade Photograph
APG is excited to partner with Adam Finkelston and The Hand Magazine for our first exhibition dedicated to alternative process and the handmade photograph. Whether traditional imagery rendered as a platinum/palladium print, or digital images that have been cut and collaged together, we are looking for work that has been touched by the hand of the artist.
In honor of our first alternative process exhibition, one artist from the exhibition will be chosen for a 2 page feature spread in The Hand Magazine, plus a one year subscription to The Hand Magazine. Two additional artists from the exhibition will be chosen to receive a one year subscription to The Hand Magazine. It should be noted that magazine subscriptions include the ability to submit to any of the magazine’s 4 calls for entry during the year the subscription is valid.
THE HAND MAGAZINE
Founded in April 2013, The Hand Magazine is based in Prairie Village, Kansas. It is owned, published and co-edited by Adam Finkelston with James Meara as lead designer and co-editor. Together, Finkelston and Meara curate each quarterly issue from submitted images from around the world. The Hand Magazine is dedicated to the support and exhibition of hand-made artworks using mechanical or reproduction-based processes. “The Hand” is about connecting artists, serving as a resource for artists and enthusiasts, and building bridges across creative communities.
