Washer / Dryer Projects is beyond excited to announce our first open call, curated by Daniel Everett.

INTRODUCTION

In the artist Seth Price’s essay “Dispersion”, he states:

“Slowness works against all of our prevailing urges and requirements: it is a resistance to the contemporary mandate of speed. Moving with the times places you in a blind spot: if you’re part of the general tenor, it’s difficult to add a dissonant note. But the way in which media culture feeds on its own leavings indicates the paradoxical slowness of archived media, which, like a sleeper cell, will always rear its head at a later date.”

For this open call, we are looking for photographic work related to this idea of “slowness”. What does it mean to be slow? How can the process of making a photograph be slowed down? How could a photograph promote extended looking?
