About:

You are cordially invited to attend Expanding Boundaries, our Third Annual “Fine Art” exhibition at the Los Angeles Center of Photography.
The Los Angeles Center of Photography proudly presents Expanding Boundaries, its Third Annual “Fine Art” exhibition, a beautiful collection of photography selected by Scott B. Davis. Out of 742 different images submitted for this competition, Mr. Davis selected 45 images (from 29 photographers) for the exhibition at the Los Angeles Center of Photography, showing May 25 – June 22, 2018. In addition, 51 images (from 29 photographers) were selected for a virtual online gallery display on LACP’s website. This is an annual call for entry exhibition in the spring of each year.

The Juror:

Scott B. Davisis an artist and founder of the Medium Festival of Photography. His photographs are created with wooden view cameras ranging in size from 4×5 to 16×20. The images explore plant communities in the Sonoran desert and ordinary urban spaces in the American landscape. Davis’s prints are made by hand using the exquisite 19th century process known as platinum printing. His work has been reviewed in the New York Times, the Village Voice, the New Yorker, Los Angeles Times, and other print media. Davis’s photographs have been collected by the J. Paul Getty Museum, Pier 24 in San Francisco, the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art, the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, Museum of Photographic Arts, and others.
In 2012 davis founded the Medium Festival of Photography, an annual event that brings emerging and established contemporary photographers to San Diego for four-days of portfolio reviews, artist lectures, exhibitions, and related events.

Juror’s Statement:

Expanding Boundariesis a celebration of contemporary artists working with photography, each exploring the medium’s perceived limits and visual possibilities. The exhibition spans much of the history of photographic processes including traditional darkroom work, images that include mixed media, and those made entirely with digital technology. Altogether, they form a dynamic exhibition offering a window into the state of photography in 2018.
The selections embrace the idea of expansion and limitation through widely ranging subject matter. For some this is through bodies of work concerned with exploring new modes of visual expression, while others encompass more ephemeral suggestions of how photography can expand boundaries. Themes consistent throughout the exhibition include mystery, imagination, history, and bold uses of the medium itself.

The photographs on view demonstrate the ability for photography to be an increasingly fluid medium, using its inherent specificity as a starting point while bravely charting new avenues for creative exploration – Scott B. Davis
