RED Prospectus

Red. Blood, the Grand Canyon and Mars- all Red. Red has more personal associations than any other color. Red is exciting, Red draws attention. Red is heat, passion, sex, anger, love and joy. Red can be happiness and good fortune.

Juror: Our juror for Red is Michael Itkoff, artist and Cofounder of Daylight and Fabl. Michael’s photographic and video work is in public and private collections in the United States and his work has appeared on the covers of Orion, Katalog, Next City and Philadelphia Weekly.

Daylight is a non-profit organization dedicated to publishing art and photography books. By exploring the documentary mode along with the more conceptual concerns of fine-art, Daylight’s uniquely collectible publications work to revitalize the relationship between art, photography, and the world-at-large.
