I haven't updated the Procession West project for quite a while, but it has been one of the things that has taken up a lot of my time in recent weeks. My friend Rob and I have finalized our image list for this project. It now includes a total of 40 images... 20 by each of us. The exact number that will be exhibited will vary depending on the venue that we are showing at. Not only do we have the image list finalized, but we now have almost all of them printed. We are finishing that up and are in the process of mounting, matting, and spotting the final exhibition prints. Soon we will be starting on cutting and assembling our frames.
There are a lot of little side projects that go along with the preparation of our photographs. We built several foam-lined plywood shipping cases that will be used to transport our finished prints to the venues that we will be showing at. We have prepared scans of all of the images. These are being used for further submissions to additional galleries, in the hope that this can become a travelling exhibitions and remain on the road for a number of years. These scans are also being used to self-publish a book which will be available for viewing, and offered for sale, at our exhibitions. The first two exhibitions that have been confirmed are...
The Art Gallery of Regina
2420 Elphinstone Street
Regina, Saskatchewan
June 19th 2013 to August 23rd 2013
McMullen Gallery
8440 - 112 Street
Edmonton, Alberta
August to October 2013 [exact dates TBA]
Hopefully there will be some upcoming announcements about future exhibitions. We have sent our submission package out to four more galleries already, and have another 20 packages that will be sent out over the next few weeks.
