Polaroid is honoring its founder Dr. Edwin Land’s passion for the arts with the launch of the Made in Polaroid exhibit. An art show featuring more than 50 pieces created by a mix of artists, designers, photographers, actors and musicians who are united in their passion for creativity, all pieces will be auctioned with proceeds benefitting Free Arts NYC, a non-profit that provides arts and mentoring programs to under-served children.   

The exhibit explores the infinite number of ways technology can enable creative expression. Featuring pieces that range from single mounted images to multi-print mosaics, each artist taps a different approach to tell a story with photos. All works were created exclusively using the Polaroid GL10 Instant Mobile Printer, the first product from Lady Gaga’s Grey Label line.

The exhibit opens to the public on September 7^th at Phillips de Pury & Company’s gallery at 450 West 15^th Street in New York City. All pieces from the exhibit will be auctioned on September 14 at Phillips de Pury & Company’s gallery at 450 Park Avenue in New York City. For more information and to view works from the Made In Polaroid exhibit, visit www.polaroid.com and at www.phillipsdepury.com .

The curation of concept is by Pascal Dangin & the Box team. 

The piece below is from artist Phillip-Lorca Dicorcia and it uses 624 of 3" x 4" ZINK paper prints that were printed using the Polaroid GL10 Instant Mobile Printer. Very cool.

Other artists whose work appears in the exhibition include Chase Jarvis, Mark Seliger, James Franco, Hush, Eine,Marylin Minter, Rob Pruitt, and Gary Baseman. Tons of talent with this list and this looks like a must see show.

Put this one on your calendar!
