Re: Call for Entries
The language in the requirements is prompting one to think about and question norms and beliefs associated with photography as documentation (a subject near and dear to me personally). Being set in one's beliefs is fine, but stagnates learning, potential, and new ideas, which art and culture needs to move forward and thrive, IMO. Besides, why on earth would we want to discourage people from posting any reputable Calls for Entry to the list? Regards, Jon Jonathan Bailey wrote: Huh?!? It *sounds* like English.... Does photo discourse on most campuses resemble this?? If so, things are worse than I'd feared. It's disturbing to think students might be able to translate this babble. Or, write a paper about it. But, hey - what do I know?!?

Documentation: Photography as Witness calls for works that specifically question the nature of visual documentation, including its definition, potentials, semiotic systems, and social resonances in a Post-Modern world. The exhibition will run from 9 February through 16 March, 2007, at the University of Maine's Lord Hall Galleries. Please send up to twenty images on CD or DVD to: Dr. Michael Grillo, 219 Lord Hall, Department of Art, University of Maine, 04469-5743 by 15 November, 2006.
