Contemporary Photography in Hawai‘i 2022

The Fourteenth Annual Survey Exhibition: Sponsored by Pacific New Media
Opens online Sept 1, 2022

Juror: Katherine Love, Assistant Curator of Contemporary Art, Honolulu Museum of Art

This juried exhibition is open to all artists in Hawaii using photographic processes: analog or digital, color or BXW, alternative processes and mixed media explorations. Contemporary Photography in Hawaii 2022 offers artists a venue for exhibiting work and provides a snapshot of the “state of the art” of photography in Hawai‘i.

Juror’s Statement: I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to jury the 14th annual Pacific New Media Contemporary Photography in Hawaiʿi exhibition. It was a pleasure to review the range of photographs and portfolios that were submitted this year. In 2022 as we begin to gather again, and families and communities reunite after a difficult period of isolation, these images provide a compelling array of perspectives into this unique moment in time.

As a contemporary curator, I look for works that capture and hold my attention, and where I feel the uniquely personal vision of the artist shows through. This year’s selection of prints and portfolios includes dynamic street photography, memorable cultural celebrations, evocative landscapes, bold abstractions, playful moments, and thoughtful portraits that express and celebrate a wide diversity of viewpoints and interests among Hawaiʿi photographers. 

I wish to thank all of the artists who entered and to David Ulrich, co-director of Pacific New Media, for the invitation and for his thoughtful guidance throughout the process. I am very pleased to have been involved in the exhibition, and for this chance to further my awareness of this vibrant community of artists.
