"What makes this show more than a clever exercise is the range of established and emerging photographers, with Oliver Boberg, Paola Ventura, David Hilliard, and Lori Nix joined by strong newcomers like Joshua Martinez, Bill Finger, the team of Tribble & Mancenido, and Sa Schloff, whose still-lifes are wonderfully surreal."
The New Yorker review of "Summer Staged", the 2010 edition of The Summer Show Project as published July 12, 2010
The Summer Show Project offers the unique chance for artists to work directly with FOLEYgallery, creating new work to be curated in a group exhibition.
This initiative will provide an opportunity for emerging photographers to have their work seen, recognized and reviewed by fellow artists, gallery directors, book editors and curators.
Upon acceptance, you will work on your own and with the guidance of gallery owner Michael Foley to create new work dedicated to a theme that will be suggested by the curatorial panel. A total of 8 photographers will be selected by the panel to participate.
From January to April you will meet with Michael Foley either in the gallery or via iChat/Skype for two 30 minute sessions where you can discuss your progress and share what you have been working on.
In May, a final edit will be made and two photographs from each photographer will be curated into a group exhibition at FOLEYgallery opening in June 2011. In addition to the work of these 8 photographers, additional selections will be curated into the show from some of the most well known contemporary photographers working today.
This is the second year for The Summer Show Project. We invite you to submit your work to participate in this unique opportunity and share the experience of exposure, guidance, feedback, community, recognition and support.
We invite photographers from all disciplines to apply. The Summer Show Project is open to all photographers world wide.
