With the PAG show over I am now,
out of exhibitions!!! There was talk of a traveling exhibition of the "Families of the Dump" photos through the Penticton Art Gallery. Not sure that is going to take place thou. I had also some hope of the photos being exhibited om Eastern Canada as part of the CONTACT photography festival in 2019. There were some promises made about that festival but it seems dead in the water at present. It looks like nothing is on the horizon exhibition wise!
Since everything has pretty much dried up, I need to get off my ass and do some more submitting of the various photo series made in the last 15 years. I think what I might do is submit multiple submissions to higher end galleries at the same time. I want to try to get into more quality facilities like the Penticton Art Gallery. Once you have tasted that level of professionalism and excellence it is hard to step back.
Note* I might try doing a Platinum-Palladium photo print version submission of one or several of these series.
Some possible photo series that could be submitted include:
- "Gerry Yaum Retrospective" b/w, color film and digital (1985-2018)
