Cdags.org is pleased to announce a collaboration with the Penumbra Foundation in NYC, in the form of an annual exhibit and symposium. Entitled “Image Object” the juried exhibit will showcase the forefront of contemporary daguerreotypy with the aim of propelling the genre forward in the art world.

The inaugural exhibit (IO-1) will be held March/April 2013 around the time of the AIPAD show and in the gallery spaces of the Center for Alternative Photography on East 30th street in NYC (part of the Penumbra foundation and pictured below). Entries will initially be received by email for selection and the closing date will in December 2012. More details on the exhibit and symposium to follow, but our wish would be for contributing Daguerreotypists to be thinking ahead now about submissions. Note for the inaugural exhibit: submitted plates must have been produced within the past two years (future exhibits will accept plates made within the year prior to the exhibition).
