Monalog Collective Show at the Stirner Modern Gallery, Easton PA, September 3rd – September 26th

I am pleased and excited to announce that the Monalog Collective I founded with five other fine photographers less than two years ago is having its first group show! I would have never dreamt that in this short amount of time we would have grown to thirteen members … twelve photographers and a terrific photo historian!

 

The show is called Expression Through Tradition: The Monalog Collective, and I could not think of a better title given what Monalog is all about … black and white film photography and traditional printing processes. I also could not be happier about where we are having our show and with whom. The Stirner Modern Gallery is a beautiful space and the owner; Jonas Stirner is a terrific artist and a wonderful host! I could not ask for more!

 

I hope you will join me on September 3rd at from 6:00 – 8:00pm for the show’s Opening. Also, on September 17that 7:00pm there will be a talk by our photo historian Chris Karfakis, and there will be a gallery walk through on Sunday from 12:00 – 5:00pm. The gallery will also be open Wednesdays and Thursdays from 12:00 -6:00pm; Fridays from 12:00 – 8:00pm; Saturdays from 10:00am – 8:00pm and Sundays from 12:00 – 5:00pm.

 

The show is also co-sponsored by The Halide Project as part of the month long September Philadelphia 20/20 Photo Festival.

EXPRESSION THROUGH TRADITION

 

An Exhibition of Photographs

THE MONALOG COLLECTIVE

 

The Monalog Collective is a group of like-minded photographers that formed to promote Black and White photography and the industry that supports it. This exhibition of photographs, made by twelve Monalog Collective Members, includes modern and historic applications of traditional emulsion-based processes. All images are original and hand-made by the artist. Each photographer has selected a specific process that best captures and expresses their vision of and feelings for a desired subject that is then revealed and shared via a tintype, ambrotype or print.

 

Stay well,

 

Michael

Kind of a far drive for me coming from Baltimore MD but it looks like a very interesting exhibition. Best wishes for the show and thanks for sharing.

I love black and white and would like to know if the focus is only on black and white film processing and printing, or are there broader discussions of black and white as an artistic form of expression.

Hello Michael,

This looks super interesting! I'd love to see it.

How long does the exhibition run, please?
