 Dear list,
 At Atelier pH7 in Brussels we allways show the exhibited prints, alt or not, without glass in front of them (excepting refusal by the author). On the part of the spectator, we meet with unanimous approval on this matter. We are also aware that this is only possible in an intimate environment with constant surveillance and that most commercial galleries are unable to assure this kind of service.

The duration of our shows (maximum 2 months) also excludes detrimental influence by atmospheric polluants (smoking being prohibited inside our studio).

If interested to show your work in our setting, please visit our website and consult our general conditions to exhibit.

With our warmest greetings,

Roger

 

Say, Katherine, speaking of framing gum prints and gallery shows, I have an
off-the-wall (no pun intended - on second thought, that's pretty good!)
question for you: I love gum prints. That goes without saying. Love
everything about them, including the surface of the paper and how the gum
glimmers in areas where its thicker. Recently, I took the glass out of a
couple of prints and hung them up, framed, matted, and no glass. I kind of
like them that way. Is this a totally ridiculous concept for showing and
selling prints in a gallery setting?

Thanks!

With Dick's permission I'll post some images on the B&S site to
illustrate what I mean about the range of expression and tonal scale
possible with gum, when I can find some time to do that. Right now I'm
getting things ready for the gallery to meet publicity deadlines for my
upcoming show, and then there's finishing the printing and framing and
all that, so it won't be right away.
