NEW WAVE: SPE Student Exhibition

In the spirit of featuring a new wave of artists emerging from the pandemic, The Society of Photographic Education’s West and Southwest Chapters (SPE WxSW) invited all students (and recent grads) in these regions to submit work for New Wave, a juried traveling photography exhibition.

‎‎‎

The work was selected by Juror, Nelson Chan, who selected “images that sparked my curiosity of the world and the medium, reinforced my love and longing for human interaction, and made me envious of the gumption it takes to bare it all to see or the bravery and sensitivity one must possess to photograph during a burial — which is reminiscent of Robert Frank’s photograph, Funeral, St. Helena. I leave this experience feeling humbled, inspired and grateful to be a part of something so wondrous.”

‏‏‎ ‎

The selected work will be presented at Anderson Ranch Arts Center, as well as Solano Community College, California; and New Mexico State University. In order to keep this exhibition free for participants, selected artwork will be printed on-site at each exhibition space and displayed unframed. The prints will be on view at the institution only for the duration of the exhibition and destroyed afterward.
