The London Alternative Photography Collective and Offshoot welcome proposals for an exhibition exploring the relationship between experimental photographic processes and sculpture.

The London Alternative Photography Collective welcome proposals for an exhibition exploring the relationship between experimental photographic processes and sculpture. We are particularly interested in projects which question the “thingness” of the photograph.

This exhibition takes inspiration from Mary Statzer’s “The Photographic Object 1970” published in 2016. This book looks at Peter C Bunnell’s exhibition “Photography into Sculpture”at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. This exhibition was then restaged at Hauser & Wirth, New York and Cherry & Martin, Los Angeles between 2011 and 2014. This book looks at how the context of how the concept of the photographic object has changed within a primarily digital era.

The "object-ivity" exhibition will focus on how contemporary artists in the UK, use multi-disciplinary practice to explore the relationship between photography and other mediums. Offshoot are particularly interested in artists using the window space for experimental installations.

The exhibition will be curated by Melanie King (Founder, LAPC), Kim Conway (Director, The Darkroom Project, Margate) and Offshoot.

We also welcome proposals for workshops on the subject. We will be running a cyanotype and chemigram workshop.
