Un-Natural Nature of Food Now on Fraction

Many of my friends tend to cringe when I start talking about my copy of How to Survive in the Wilderness and my reasoning about eating meat -- "If I can't kill it, I should not eat it". With books like The Omnivore's Dilemma or Fast Food Nation, and films like Food, Inc., it's clear this pattern of thinking is happening on a broad scale, and I am perhaps more susceptible to suggestion than I like to think.-- from the curator's statement, The Un-Natural Nature of Food

I am pleased to present my second group show with Fraction Magazine, titled The Un-Natural Nature of Food. Curating for this show and the previous Dress Show for the internet has some of the same restrictions associated with a physical location, but also allows for more interactive dialogue rarely afforded in a three-dimensional space. The curator adds another layer of meaning to the works by placing them in context with other pieces. I am appreciative to all the photographers who graciously submitted images into my hands.

This exhibit includes the work of

Jonathan Baustein
Micah Beree
John Cranford
Adrain Chesser
Jake Chessum
Jason Demarte
Dornith Doherty
Jonathan Feinstein
Taj Forer
Cynthia Greig
Gabriela Herman
Hin Chua
Jason Houston

Erika Larsen
Ben Lerman
Amanda Lucidon/The Press Enteprise

Thanks to Josh Spees at Fraction, the group show that I am curating titled The Unnatural Nature of Food looks great. I have to finish the curator's statement and we will publish soon (I hope by the end of this week). Thanks to all of you who allowed me to use your photos.

Call for Entry: Fraction Group Show

Here are the rules for the Fraction call for entry for the November issue. The deadline is October 10.

Please read the following guidelines carefully. Deviating from these will make the work ineligible. The theme for the show is Typologies. The typology has become a major part of the history of photography as well as a major force in contemporary photography. We wanted to see what the current state of the typology is and how current artists are using it. The show will include up to 20 artists and each artist will have 3 pieces of work up, a link to their website (if you have one), and contact information. Here are the rules for submission:

1. Make sure your work actually falls under the category of Typology. If you have any question at all as to whether or not it does, then it probably doesn't. 2. Send us three images that are 700 pixels on the longest side.
3. Make sure they are in a jpg format. No PSDs no TIFFs no GIFs. 4. Send them in an email to us at fractionmag@gmail.com Make sure the subject of your email is Group Show. Please include your name, website address (if you have one) and an email address where you can be reached. 5. The deadline for submission is October 10th. We will decide on the final artists by October 15th. Publication of Issue 4 will be in early November. Good luck and we can't wait to start looking at work.
