Submit Photographs to Light Work’s TOO HARD TO KEEP (SYRACUSE)

Submit Photographs to Light Work’s TOO HARD TO KEEP (SYRACUSE) 

Photography Submissions Due February 22

  

Submit photographs to Light Work’s Too Hard to Keep (Syracuse), a changing installation and archive.  Photographs are due February 22, 2013 and the exhibition will run April 4 through May 31, 2013.

Too Hard to Keep (Syracuse) is a communal archival place for photographs, photo-objects, and digital files to exist when they are too difficult to destroy or too hard to hold on to.

The idea for the show started in 2010 by Chicago-based artist Jason Lazarus.  He initiated a growing archive of photos deemed "too hard to keep." T.H.T.K. (Too Hard to Keep).

Participants have the option to have the photographs shown freely with other pieces of the archive, or to be displayed face down, adding to the charged significance of each object.

Out of this expanding collection site-specific installations occur. With T.H.T.K. (Syracuse) Jason Lazarus will shares part of the larger archive alongside anonymous local submissions in a carefully considered installation at Light Work.

The exhibition will be on view April 4 - May 31, 2013. A reception will be held April 4 from 5-7 pm, with a gallery talk from the artist at 5pm.
