New Old Images (now) — a call for reconsidered once forgotten photographs.
This call is a chance for you to reconsider, in 350 words or less, a personal, forgotten, or found photograph. We encourage you to comb through boxes, drawers, closets, and hard drives to find an image that yields a new fresh meaning. Re-contextualize what a single photograph can mean over time. Then share it with us!
Looked at with new eyes, our images ask us questions. Through this program we intent to ask back a new set of questions— what do your old pictures mean now? Is the meaning still what it once was? Have our images changed us? How much of the meaning and power of photographic images can we locate inside the border of the photograph? What new latent meanings grow from the changing environment of our time?
This program intends to provide space to slow down our image consumption, to digest, ruminate, and attempt to absorb what our photographs, one at a time, mean now.
All submissions will receive a followup email response, and will be considered by the curatorial team for a future project iteration. Your submission is your application for any or all of these levels of participation. All inquiries can be directed to Daniel King at
