Well got some more good news today, the PDF file project work is continuing to pay off. We have been offered 2 rooms to exhibit both THE FAMILIES OF THE DUMP and THE PEOPLE UNDER THE FREEWAY at the University of New Brunswick UNB Art Centre.
The UNB Art Centre is a gallery that has been promoting the arts in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada since 1941, a 79 year history! In 2018 Edward Burtynsky had work showing there. If the gallery is good enough for one of the top photographers in the world, it certainly will be a wonderful place for "Mr. Security Guard" to tell the stories of the forgotten people I met and photographed in Thailand. Along with the photographs, I hope to also do an artist talk, and to have a running video of life in the dump during the exhibition. The shows are not until 2022 so I might also try to start my cross Canada ambrotype photography project (Ambrotos) Kanata at that time. The idea would be to drive hauling the wet plate trailer, work on the project, then do the opening in Fredericton, before coming home.
As you can imagine after first the two magazine portfolios and interviews in "Shades of Grey" magazine, and now having both THE FAMILIES OF THE DUMP and THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE UNDER THE FREEWAY being exhibited at a beautiful gallery, I am in a pretty good mood! I am so happy to be able to tell the stories of the "families in the dump" and "the people under the freeway" to a larger audience. Thank you UNB Art Centre, for your kindness.
