Got another reply today when I checked my mail before going to work. The Winnipeg Art Gallery (WAG) is one of the high end spam submissions I sent out (the earlier MacKenzie probably as well) so the submissions accomplished their goals, Mr. Yaum is making some noise and trying to get noticed. Maybe the work, the name is starting to be remembered a bit, maybe the photographs next time will have a more positive reaction. I will send out another submission to these same high end places next year after I shoot in Asia 1 or 2 more times, and then after that, and after that and after that!!! The fight to get the photographs noticed continues, : )
Here is the very nice note I received from the polite people at the WAG:
Here is the very nice note I received from the polite people at the WAG:
Hello Mr. Yaum,
Thank-you for your submissions of your two projects entitled Families of the Dump and Body Sellers, The Sex Workers of Thailand. I have passed along your information to P……., the Curator of Contemporary Art.
Exhibitions at the Winnipeg Art Gallery are carefully considered, and booked generally 2 – 3 years in advance. Work in the open, public spaces such as Eckhardt Hall, Skylight Gallery and the Penthouse Lobby are drawn from our permanent collection, as are the works in six of our exhibition spaces. The other spaces feature curated temporary exhibitions drawn from both our collection and those from which we borrow, both private and public. At this time our schedule is quite full, with exhibitions scheduled through 2016.
Please understand that due to the large number of submissions the WAG receives, we are only able to follow up with submissions we intend to pursue.
Again, thank-you for thinking of the WAG.
Sincerely,
E……….
E……….Curatorial Administrative Assistant
