Photokina
Yesterday we went to cologne and visited the Photokina. It was a fantastic day and we saw so many amazing things. It was great to see all the new and absolute amazing cameras and even to be able to hold and try them. I tested the brand new Canon EOS 5D Mark II, as well as the EOS 1 DS Mark III. I tested the Hasselblad H3DII-31 and the H3DII-50, a fantastic experience to use this cameras. The heart of every photographer beats faster when he or she sees all these wonderful cameras and lenses. One of the highlights was the booth of Leica, they presented their brand new Leica S System. And not to forget Adobe with the new Photoshop CS4. Their presentation was great.

SNAP TO GRID
the UN-Juried Exhibit
Every Entry Submitted is Shown!

The show is mounted in our 1,200 foot storefront gallery in the bourgeoning downtown arts district in the revitalized historic core of Los Angeles. It is an area constantly building and creating itself, filled with art, hipsters, restaraunts, clubs, music, shopping and urban loft living. The area is frequented by celebrities, critics, curators and renowned artists. The opening reception is on the nignt of the exciting Downtown Art Walk which has drawn over 2,000 people (and also provides a new shuttle service between each cluster of the over 30 galleries in the immediate area). Thousands are expected to attend the exhibit.
After the exhibition the images and artist information will be archived by LACDA. Artwork for future exhibits will be selected from the archived images, and will also be available for review by interested area gallerists, curators and arts journalists. The ultimate resume builder. Everybody wins!

Multiple Entries: Multiple entries are permitted. $30 registration fee for each additional image.
Gallery Statement:
Every year for 50 years the L.A. Municipal Gallery has held its "Open Call" exhibit where any artist can show up with their art and an entry fee (to benefit gallery programs) and the piece is shown. The Los Angeles Center For Digital Art decided to launch an international experiment of the same nature where the artists upload images that are printed and hung by the gallery. The hundreds of works are displayed in a grid like installation (reminiscent of postcard art shows of the 1980's) where every work submitted is exhibited.
The usual (less than democratic) selection process where only the precious few are chosen is turned on its head in a curatorial anarchy where everyone gets to participate and the viewer is literally left to be the judge. The show represents a snapshot of a current moment in art history when digital imaging has reached the hands of the many, an age where culture belongs to the "mobblogers" around the globe. From Thailand to Texas, amateur to academic, beautiful to banal and beyond the monumental quantity and variety of "Snap to Grid" becomes an aesthetic experience where each individual piece adds to an agglomerative effect that has a life of its own.
