Fellowship 15: Projects by http://christophermeerdo.com/" & http://christophermeerdo.com/" features solo exhibitions from our International Award and Keystone Award winners, selected from an open call for entries in mid-2014.

The winning portfolios are scheduled to be on view at Silver Eye Center for Photography from January 16 through March 21, 2015 with an opening reception to take place on Friday, January 16 from 6:00 - 9:00 pm. Admission is free and open to the public.

International Award winner Christopher Meerdo (Chicago, IL) showcases work from a number of his projects, which explore notions of paranoia, entropy, and memorial through use of data processing, photography, installation, and moving images. Meerdo's photographs ask the view to challenge their own ideas of objective awareness by altering the given landscape in dreamlike ways.

Keystone Award winner Matthew Conboy (Pittsburgh, PA) showcases Objects in mirror are closer than they appear, which documents a surreal 88-acre skate park located in rural southeast Ohio. Skatopia functions as a pilgrimage site for skaters from around the world, a refuge for young people looking for direction in their lives, and an anarchist commune. Through his photographs, Conboy wished to turn his camera away from the skaters, and instead search for the narrative threads that link the unique individuals portrayed in his images to each other and to the physical and cultural landscapes of southeast Ohio.

Now in its 15th year, Fellowship, our international photography competition, recognizes both rising talent and established photographers from all corners of the globe and from the state of Pennsylvania.
