PhotoBook Exhibition
In recognition of the increasing importance of the photo book, Filter Photo held its first ever photo book call for entries and juror Gregory Harris, Assistant Curator of the DePaul Art Museum, selected 29 well-thought-out, original, and compelling books for the exhibition. The selected entries comprise a survey of the contemporary photo book, with diverse styles of design, publication, aesthetic, and country of origin represented. The exhibition is a partnership between the Filter Photo, FlakPhoto, the Wisconsin Book Festival, and The BUBBLER @ Madison Public Library and will run October 13th – October 27th. Please join us for a reception on Saturday, October 18th from 6:30 pm – 7:30 pm at the Madison Public Library.
