THEME: New Abstraction
Photography whether manipulated by hand, by computer, or physically exchanged, the image combines a function—an act of representation—with a use and history that constructs how that image communicates. Meed2: New Abstraction, looks at the materiality of film by exploring the nature of experimental photography. Through the practices of Pictorialism, Dadaism and Surrealist montage, Gallery19 and Juror Juan Fernandez explores the idea of new abstraction as it has reappeared in response to digital photography.

50% percent of the actual sales price of the Artwork(s). When Artworks are purchased by designers or multiple pieces are purchased and a discount is asked in order to close the sale, Gallery may, at its discretion, give a discount of not more than 20%. By signing this Agreement, Artist authorizes Gallery to sell the Artwork(s) at or above the discounted price.
2. Retail sales price for each consigned Artwork will be established by Gallery in consultation with Artist. Factors influencing retail sales price include history of prior sales by Artist, market demand, and Gallery knowledge of its inventory, Buyers and price‐points.
3. Artist retains sole ownership of all work consigned to or represented by Gallery. Artist retains copyright to all consigned Artwork in perpetuity, as governed by law.
4. Artist hereby warrants that he/she created and possesses unencumbered title and rights to the Artworks, and that their descriptions are true and accurate.

6. Payment to artist will be provided within 30 days after the exhibition closes. If Gallery accepts installment payment sales, Artist agrees to accept partial payments as received by Gallery. Artwork will not be released by Gallery to Buyer until full payment is received. If Artwork is released to Buyer before full payment is satisfied, Gallery agrees to pay Artist full percentage of commission owed. Upon Artist request, Gallery will provide Artist with account statements of sales activity for all inventoried work attributable to Artist, at reasonably frequent intervals of approximately once each quarter.

Work accepted by Gallery will remain for entire duration of contract term. This practice stabilizes the Artwork value and provides a level of exclusivity during contract term, which benefits sales negotiations. Gallery will extend efforts to accommodate unique and special opportunities that arise, including participation in limited duration festivals and weekend events. For these opportunities, Artist must provide work from Artist’s own inventory.
9. Gallery agrees to hold on premises and display as appropriate all Artwork described on attached inventory (Ex. A), which is an addendum to this contract.

Artworks only if notice is given to users or viewers that the Artworks were created by Artist.

In the event of a dispute between Artist and Gallery regarding this Agreement, such dispute shall be subject to arbitration before a single arbitrator pursuant to the rules of the American Arbitration Association.
