Open Call - Group Show #65 – Easy Spirit: New Photography On Walking

A lone walker is both present and detached, more than an audience but less than a participant. Walking assuages or legitimizes this alienation.” - Rebecca Solnit, from Wanderlust: A History of Walking.

There is something therapeutic about going on walks and taking pictures – sometimes aimless, sometimes with calculated, project-based parameters in mind. It's a road trip on foot. It's about pause, introspection, mindfulness, and maybe some visual mile-marking.

In today's socially distant, quarantined world, walking (safely!) can be a form of personal liberation – one of the few things we can do outside. Editors note: we acknowledge that these statements about “liberation” may be dependent on certain forms of privilege — we hope to reflect this respectfully in the final show.

For Humble's next online exhibition, we'd like to see your images related to walking.
Interpret this however you like. This will be co-curated by Bryan Formhals and Humble's co-founder Jon Feinstein, with curatorial advisement from Humble’s senior editor and curatorial advisor Roula Seikaly.

Deadline: May 20th, 2020

Open Call - Group Show #54: Seeing Sound

By now you may have seen wizard artist Neil Harbisson's super-viral 2012 TED Talk, demonstrating technology that allows him to "hear" color. Or maybe you're a fan of Design Observer and attended their pivotal "What Design Sounds Like" symposium in New York City in 2015. Or perhaps you marveled at Aperture's Fall 2016 Issue "Sounds," which explored the impact of music on photography. The interest in the intersection of the senses has drawn fascinating work across a range of creative media for years.

But more abstractly, is it possible to make a photograph of what we hear? 
What are some photographic representations of riffs, repetition and tone?
How might an image have a verse and refrain?

For Humble's next open call, we're interested in seeing how photographers represent sound, music, any kind of audio frequencies in their work, with three major caveats: 
No band photos. No live music photos. No photos of musical instruments. Let us see sound as we'd least expect it.

Open Call Group Show #51: Future Isms

Regardless of your political leanings, the world, in all its beauty, can be a complex and terrifying place. Especially in light of the 2016 US Presidential election, we approach an uncertain future. For Humble Arts Foundation's final open call of 2016, we'd like to see photo-based work that represents the world to come. Is it a dystopia overrun by robots and holograms? An egalitarian paradise? The death of photography as we know it? A self-conscious riff on Fritz Lang's Metropolis? Something more abstract? 

Show us your vision or interpretation of the future. And while you're at it, listen to this Milemarker record from which we borrowed the name.

Just Another Open Call? Announcing Humble's Monthly Instagram Group Shows

So, this May, we're launching a new series of group shows that will live exclusively on Instagram. But don't worry, we have no plans to halt our regular programming.

Open Call: group show #49 I Love Kanye

Folks, it was bound to happen: a Humble Arts Foundation group show devoted exclusively to Kanye West. With the release of The Life of Pablo and YEEZY Season 3, we believe the timing apropos (and too ironic to avoid). How the F do you curate a photography exhibition about one of today's most notorious pop culture icons without any images of the rapper himself?
