1
lb. Gallery presents:
Defining 'Erotic'
Call for
Artists - Deadline: August 31st, 2013
The word, “Erotic” by its arbitrary nature, is
a rather tough one to define…one person’s idea of what’s “erotic” to
them – may be perceived as something closer to “pornography” in the
eyes of another…or conversely – too “vanilla” to arouse any emotions,
or sensations in another person, even yet…
For the October Exhibit – 1
lb. Gallery will be celebrating the arrival of
Eroticon 2013 USA, as not only does this mark the erotica conference’s
inaugural visit to The States, but also – 1 lb. Gallery owner, Lauralyn
Brickhouse – will be speaking on the topic of erotic photography, as
well as leading a self-portraiture workshop! We invite you to submit
photos that depict your
interpretation of what “erotic” actually means…and who knows? Perhaps your images will
provide just the inspiration that Lauralyn needs in order to put the
finishing touches on her Eroticon talk!
One Entrant will receive the “Juror’s Choice Award”, and will be the
featured artist on the 1 lb. website for the month of October, 2013, as
well as the special guest at the “Defining Erotic” Opening Night
& Artist’s Reception” on October 4th, 2013. “Juror’s Choice
Award” winners who are unable to attend the exhibition’s Opening Night,
have the option of, and are encouraged to Skype via the gallery’s
