Time for daguerreotypists to start casting their minds towards next years event – IO-2. To be held again at the Center for Alternative Photography on East 30th st in NYC and in the opening week of the AIPAD show. To make sure everyone has enough time we are extending the submission period to 5pm, 10th January, 2014.

With the success of IO-1 we are looking forward to bringing a new attraction to the event to further make it unmissable. In addition to the juried exhibition, the symposium and the opening night gala, IO-2 will also host the ImageObject Trade Fair.

As well as the selected artworks on display in the exhibition, artists are invited to offer an unlimited amount of artworks for sale in the ImageObject Trade Fair. The trade fair will run a similar format to the Daguerreian Society trade fairs except that it will be all about the contemporary daguerreotype. As well as artist tables their will be makers of contemporary equipment – Mercury pots, fuming boxes, plate supplies ad much more. Chamonix cameras have expressed an interest in having a table at the trade fair, if you know of a equipment manufacturer you think should be a vendor, let us know.
