Ovation TV has brought back its week-long on-air programming event that is all about photography—Framed. This time around, Framed premieres The Wonderful World of Albert Kahn, a show featuring an encompassing mission during the early-1900s in which Albert Kahn commissioned photographers near and far to document the four corners of the world in colour using autochrome plates. Kahn believed that he could use the new autochrome process—the world’s first practical system of taking colour photographs—to promote cross-cultural understanding. Kahn’s vast and legendary collection of autochromes remained relatively unheard of until a century after he launched his project. Today’s episodes of the show track the travels of Kahn’s team of photographers into Turkey, Syria, Lebanon and Palestine as well as Vietnam, Cambodia, Japan and India. Tied to the airing of the show is a competition entitled, Framed Art Race 2010. This photography contest calls for photographers of all genres to document their world using a cell phone camera. The submission deadline is 8 May 2010. Winners will be showcased on TV in a My Art spot on Ovation.
