Plastic Fantastic Show IV
June 8, July 6, 2013
LightBox Photographic Gallery will celebrate its fourth anniversary with the opening and artist’s reception of the Plastic Fantastic Show IV on Saturday June 8, 2013 from 6-9pm.
The exhibits’ first place award winner, Bob Gervais of Portland, Oregon, will give an artist presentation and slide show Saturday at 4pm, before the exhibits’ opening. Bob is recognized for his work using a holga plastic camera to shoot street photography in many locales from NYC to Merida, Mexico. Please contact the gallery for reserved seating for this artist talk.
Featuring photographic images made with plastic “toy” cameras, with this exhibit we celebrate the gallery’s anniversary every year! The Plastic Fantastic Show IV stays true to pure film photography and the use of plastic, pinhole, box or homemade cameras. No digital photography is considered.
LightBox is very honored to have Susan Burnstine as juror once again for the Plastic Fantastic Show. Susan is an award winning professional fine art photographer based in Los Angeles who builds homemade cameras and lenses primarily made out of plastic, vintage camera parts and random household objects. Susan is represented in galleries across the world, her images are mesmerizing and dreamlike, using film with the purity of the process as a vital element, without relying on digital processing.
