THE FAMILY: A JURIED EXHIBITION
Click here to download the pdf for entry information.
Family
“The Photographic Dialogue has never been so filled conversation about family--
interpreting ourselves and those we love through images is an important way of creating
universal stories. Photographers today have become participant observers of their own
familial settings, reflecting a reality and insight of those they share their lives with.
We are turning our lenses homeward, to capture worlds that are familiar, yet charged
with history and emotion. This exhibition is about seeing beyond the front door and
the birthday party smiles, it's about the pathos and poignancy of parenthood, of aging
parents, of loss, of joy, of loneliness...it's about all the things that make us human in the
every day drama played out in our own backyards.”
Detroit Center for Contemporary Photography is pleased to welcome Aline Smithson
as the juror for exhibition, The Family. After a career as a New York Fashion Editor
and working along side the greats of fashion photography, Smithson discovered the
family Rolleiflex and never looked back. Now represented by galleries in the U.S. and
Europe and published throughout the world, she continues to create her award-winning
photography with humor, compassion, and a 50-year-old camera.
She has exhibited widely including solo shows at the Griffin Museum of Photography,
the Fort Collins Museum of Contemporary Art, the Lishui Festival in China, the
Tagomago Gallery in Barcelona and Paris, and the Wallspace Gallery in Seattle and
Santa Barbara. In addition, her work is held in a number of museum collections. Her
photographs have been featured in publications including PDN (cover), the PDN Photo
Annual, Communication Arts Photo Annual, Eyemazing, Soura, Visura, Fraction,
Artworks, Lenswork Extended, Shots, Pozytyw, and Silvershotz magazines.
In 2012, Smithson received the Rising Star Award through the Griffin Museum of
Photography for her contributions to the photographic community, and considers her
children her greatest achievement. For a full biography and to view the photographic
