The artists on display all work with or include photography in their work with a series of parameters: all of the work in the show has to be sent to the gallery, nothing is for sale, and the work should arrive during the six weeks the show is on view.
The result is a series of overlapping works-in-progress which will arrive at completion on July 31. Some pieces are sent by email, others by mail or fax. Nothing resembles a heavily-produced photographic object. Because many of the participants are traveling during the summer their pieces are often individually developed around the theme of travel and distance. Jointly these works examine the parameters of making and exhibiting images.
