Reaching out to those who create their photographic art on the go, the Arts Council for Long Beach is calling out anyone with a camera-equipped cellular phone to share their own imagized masterpieces in an upcoming photography exhibit.
Entitled Nomadic Exposure, the exhibit’s main focus will be to showcase Long Beach locals’ own photographic take on the multiple public art installations throughout the city.
With the advent of sophisticated cameras on phones and popular image-based apps such as Instagram, mobile photography is becoming in and of itself an art–by both the professional and amateur alike.
According to a press release from the Council, artists are encouraged to “reflect on how the community interacts with these pieces and how they influence the city landscape and identity” and are “encouraged that the post processing is done on the mobile device with various editing applications[,] furthering the concept of accessibility.”
The artwork selected will be displayed at Collaborative Gallery, the collaborative space between the Council and the Museum of Latin American Art.
