Manifest Creative Research Gallery and Drawing Center
Photo-real
Photo-real is an international competitive exhibition featuring works of art that are not photography but which convincingly convey the appearance of photography, or the assumed accuracies and truths of the photographic.
Two companion exhibitions presented by Manifest during the FotoFocus Biennial 2016 explore the concept of the “undocument,” or “untruth.” Photo-real takes non-photographic media and reveals how these can mimic photography, heightening consideration of the nature of a document.
Selections were juried by a broad panel of volunteer academic and professional advisors from across the U.S. Additional information can be found at: www.manifestgallery.org/about/schedule.html
The corresponding workshops expand upon Manifest’s own nature as a “process-to-product” organization, bringing these same considerations to the educational studio. With hands-on experiences, the entire suite of offerings will expand the community engagement with, and in consideration of, the FotoFocus Biennial theme, Photography, the Undocument.
Real-photo
Real-photo is an international competitive exhibition featuring works that are made through the photographic process, but which appear not to be photographic in nature.
Two companion exhibitions presented by Manifest during the FotoFocus Biennial 2016 explore the concept of the “undocument,” or “untruth.” Real-photo uses the common media in photography but presents work that one may not suspect is photographic in nature, further expressing the boundaries of everyday assumptions, and cultural memes.
