About the Exhibition
Opening reception: Second Thursday, December 10, 6 - 9 pm
Lecture by Lucy Gallun, Curatorial Fellow of ICA, 7 pm

For this exhibition, the internet becomes both a practical means of acquiring imagery as well as a conceptual strategy. The exhibition includes works from 8 artists from around the world shooting with any digital device (camera, phone, computer), who will then submit images electronically to PPAC each week. PPAC will print the images and add them to the exhibition, thereby taking it from nothing to a full show over 3 months. The exhibition space will continuously change and grow, starting with 2 photographs by each artist and ending with 24.

Artist included in Nowhere are: Nathan Baker, Berlin, Germany; Jen Davis, New York, United States; Emmanuel Guillaud, Tokyo, Japan; Klara Källström & Thobias Fäldt, Gothenburg, Sweden; Conor O’Brien, Sydney, Australia; Michael Schmelling, New York, United States; Suyeon Yun, Seoul, South Korea.

About the Gallery
The goal of the Philadelphia Photo Arts Center is to make Philadelphia a place where important photography gets made, shown and talked about. Emerging local photographers are essential to that goal. They will be our photo community's next leaders and the source of important new work and new ideas.
