Re: alt exhibit
I was impressed by the quality of works, too, as shown on their site.
That's a really good question. Seems like everybody I know makes
digital prints, and so many exhibits I see are overwhelmingly
produced in digital form. I have no problem with that, especially as
I see many that are beautifully (and often very cleverly) executed--
both in image content and in printing. I just don't understand how a
digital print, no matter how cleverly and expertly carried out, is--
in any way-- alternative, since digital prints seem to be very firmly
situated in the mainstream.

Dear all,
I hope all of you spent a pleasant and fruitful summer
(photographically

On visiting the on-line alt exhibit I was impressed by the overall
quality
of the retained works. A question arises: would it not be the
moment to
define what we really mean when we speak of "alternative works".
Alternative to what? Silvergelatin? Digital? Hybrid processes?
Being responsable of an experimental European gallery I would greatly
appreciate to have your opinions on this apparently controversial
topic.
With my warmest greetings,
Roger
P.S. Christina, your work is still on our walls till at least
september 15
(if you can miss it till then)
