BFA | Offsite: Opening

The show was a great success, thank you to all who came. A special thanks to everyone who contributed their photography to the project.


A drawing I made back in Fall 07'. Initially, this was to be the focus of my entire installation. Instead, it ended up being hung outside the gallery by the elevators. It needed to be separated from the rest of my work because it was so much different from the Shared Urban Space Project.


Here I am still in sweat pants and sneakers before the official opening of the gallery. As you can see, the photographs were displayed in a single row that spanned the entire gallery space. This was over 100 feet of running wall space, and roughly 300 photos from the project were able to be displayed in this manner.


This is a nice shot of the postcard/print station. Here participants were able to select photos from the project and print them as postcards. Each photographers name, location of their photo and assignment number the photographer had completed were included on every photograph. Also included was the project's URL. This was another great opportunity to continue to create global growth for my project.

Here I am attempting to explain the project after having only a couple hours of sleep the night before and a few celebratory beers.
