Photo Awesome

Mary Stanley Studio is curating a new exhibition for fall 2008. Fashion Statement  will contrast vintage photography fashion statements with contemporary photography and video work commenting on fashion and how it shapes our 21st century reality. Fashion choices provide clues to our identity, how we feel about ourselves and how we want to be perceived. As seen through the eye of a talented artist, these fashion statements provide us with humor and insight as we consider the direction of our modern existence.

In an effort to address this issue from a diverse perspective, artists from all nations are invited to submit photography, video and new media work on the following themes for consideration:

•    Pop culture and personal identity statements
•    A fashion trend that has taken a new twist
•    Change in cultural attitudes toward certain activities or behaviors
•    Dress code violations
•    Innovative use of accessories as art forms
•    The impact of photography in creating fashion icons and idols
•    Other pertinent fashion statements

This exhibition will presented in conjunction with the 10th Annual 2008 Atlanta Celebrates Photography (ACP) Festival, this exhibition will take place during the month of October in Castleberry Hill at the The Big House (next to the Granite Room) and will be curated by Mary Stanley from submissions.
