"16th Annual Members' Krappy Kamera" Exhibition
Soho Photo Gallery
This event has ended.
Once again, Soho Photo Gallery will be completely dedicated to the art of the "Krappy Kamera," with three separate shows scheduled for March. This unique and eagerly awaited exhibition, which the Gallery has fondly termed the Krappy Kamera® Show, will feature images that have been produced using equipment from the lowest end of the technological scale. The concept underlying this show is that in the hands of an artist, any piece of equipment can be used to create engaging photographs. Cameras generally range from the well-known names such as Diana, Holga and Lubitel to obscure junk-store finds and homemade pinhole jobs.
The March shows will include:
The National Juried Krappy Kamera Competition. With the competition now in its 11th year, 236 photographers from 36 state submitted more than 1,500 images.
More Krap Downstairs . . .
The sixteenth Annual Members' Krappy Kamera Exhibition, featuring the work of 22 Gallery members, will be on display in our front gallery. They're a small group of Soho Photo's finest artists who have banded together to prove that the image is made by the photographer-not the camera.
And Even More Krap Upstairs. . .
Salon des Refusés-Krappy Kollage III, is a unique installation comprised of every non-winning image submitted to the 2009 competition-more than 1,500 prints will be displayed, floor-to-ceiling, collage-style. As was the case last year, our competition coordinators (Sandra Carrion, Sarah Corbin, Larry Davis and Jeff Smith) were so impressed by the quality of work print entries that they wanted to share them with the photography community.
