THE BRIEF

 

Everything I Ever Learnt.

Visual communication is (generally) the first form of communication we encounter. Everything I Ever Learnt – everything I have seen, felt, remembered, everything, influences and informs every thought I will ever have.

That image reminds me of something. It ignites a small flame that lights my way through the filing system of my mind. It brings me eventually to the hint of a memory, and that memory guides my interpretation of the image, influences my reaction, connects my thoughts and feelings, and threads them together, binding them into a new collection, to be drawn upon the next time something familiar arises.

Seen through your eyes, I still see it differently. Perhaps I notice something you don’t. That’s part of the beauty of photography, and the importance of sharing.

Have you got a series you want to share? An individual image that resonates? This exhibition call is open to your widest interpretation. It’s your chance to show the world through your eyes, to tell the story you want to tell, to share something with strangers, and to connect.

We’re inviting you to enter up to 6 images to be displayed on beautiful and democratic newspaper print, with dozens of other creative photographers, all with stories to share.

 

After the success of the Shutter Hub OPEN 2018 we have again teamed up with Newspaper Club to produce the exhibition. The gallery walls will be filled with your images, taped to the walls and printed on tabloid format high quality newsprint. It’s going to look amazing! (And it also means exhibitors won’t have to print, frame or deliver their work – win, win!)

 


The deadline for applications is Friday 15th February 2019.

The exhibition will run from 28 March – 3 May 2019.

There will be a private view on the evening of Thursday 4th April 2019.

Venue: Art at the ARB, Cambridge University, 7 West Road, Cambridge, CB3 9DT

Those invited to exhibit will be informed and announced by Monday 25th February 2019

 

 

HOW TO ENTER

 

Each entrant can submit up to six images. These can be from a series or individual images.

The fee is subsidised for Shutter Hub members to take part. The conditions of entry allow exhibitors to save on print, framing and courier fees which we hope encourages wider participation in our international exhibitions.

Remember, newspaper printing is an industrial process designed for speed and economy. The outcomes of this printing process will be different to the usual prints, and colours on screen, that you are used to. This is part of the beauty of working in this medium! To make sure you make the most of the process, please read this printing advice on choosing the best artwork for newsprint:

We reserve the right to not display work.
