We work to recuperate and reimagine memories\, d reams\, and facades. How do photographs and their ‘object-ness’ suppose to memorialize that which is otherwise always in flux? What are we trying to h old onto\, if anything\, in our images?\n\n \n\nIn fall 2022\, Alternatives sent out an international call for submissions of poignant works that expl ore the artist’s interpretation of ‘image as object’\, the physical manifes tation of that which can’t otherwise be pinned down — the tangible in the i ntangible. Submitted works were from artists working broadly within the spe ctrum of image-based media\, including conventional and non-traditional pho tographic processes\, moving images and installations.\n\n \n\nThe resultin g exhibition opens in the Ohio University Art Galleries in Athens\, Ohio Ja nuary 24\, 2023. It is on view until February 17\, 2023.\n\n \n\nJuror: Deb orah Orloff (www.deborahorloff.com)\nOriginally from New York City\, Debor ah Orloff moved to Ohio to accept a teaching position at the University of Toledo.
