Being stocked to accompany the new Stieglitz exhibition at the Art Gallery of NSW, photocurator will be launched at the AGNSW gift shop in the middle of June.
There will be Black, Blue, Red, Olive and White mounts for sale. So if you are in NSW come along and check out the exhibition and the gallery’s very good gift shop.
One look that I have been playing around with lately is the use of black frames on my photographs. This type of frame is available on Snapfish and probably a few others to.
One thing I would love to try is the use of coloured frames with contrasting coloured photocurator. For example in this movie on Flickr I used black frames with yellow photocurator – something I think works quite well. If anyone has any knowledge of where to get some blue, red, orange, yellow etc frames printed on your images please let me know in the comments.
I just came across an interesting article about the art of snapshot photography. Written by Craig Garrett and originally published in Flash Art No. 233 (Nov/Dec 2003) called: COERCED CONFESSIONS: Snapshot photography’s subjective objectivity
This photographic genre was very fashionable during the nineties and early 00′s with practitioners such as Wolfgang Tillmans and Leeta Harding being a couple of my favourites.
I remember back when this style first appeared during that period of ‘Heroin Chic’ and ‘Dirty Realism’ back when I was at art school. At the time I was a little dismissive of the genre, but now as my interest in the snapshot genre has grown and digital technology has gone on to change photography – my interest in the photo diarists and the role I believe this look has for the future has also begun to develop.
