Reciprocity

This exhibition includes 21 woman-identified and non-binary artist pairs anchored in photography and image-based practices and considers the reciprocal relationship between each pair.

The exhibition is on view at the gallery and online. A virtual opening reception is planned for Friday, March 5th, 6 - 8 pm via YouTube and Zoom. Registration is recommended. Please visit WMG's website and follow social media for more information. All works available for sale are listed on WMG's webstore.

In their juror's statement, Ciurej and Lochman outlined the parameters of the exhibition: 

Reciprocity is a relation of mutual dependence, action or influence. In photography, reciprocity refers to the relationship between the aperture (f-stop) and shutter speed, which work dependently and inversely to capture light. It is the key to the perfect exposure.

In reciprocal relationships, like in any collaborative act, ideas and conversations are exchanged, enriching participants intellectually and emotionally. Whether through aesthetic bond, mentor/mentee relationships, friendship, photographer/subject or teacher to student, our pursuits are sustained by these relationships.

To celebrate the reciprocal bonds that enrich our photographic practices, Woman Made Gallery invited women-identified and non-binary artists from the local, national, and international community to pair their photograph or image-based work with that of another practicing artist with whom they are in conversation.
