Terry,
Like what you mean, "What should go in it?" It probably should be alt-photography, beyond that it gets a little hazy. I enjoyed Paul Caffell's platinums madefrom the original F. Evans negs exhibited next to Evans' originals. I still wish Paul had talked to me when he got those negs, I still think we could have gotten 5 or 6 of the "Wells Cathedral" prints into commerce without anyone getting wise.
Modern works should be shown but I think someone like Pam should dig into the RPS collection and get 10 or 15 jewels out to show. Maybe the focus should be on interesting and lesser known artists, processes, and images. I know that some, if not a significant amount of the workin the collection, is unknown as to process. When I was there, Ware, I, Caffell and Pam were trying to decide if a Steichen was a carbon, gum, or something else. It ain't always that easy.
Then there is our own Luis Nadeau, who has a collection of various and sundry processes and maybe he could loan the RPS some samples for a show.
I am not sure if I really like the idea of exhibiting side by side old and new work in various processes. bel and less of an art show, but then maybe that ain't a bad idea.
