Where in Dallas? It is possible that they were mounted large prints.
Both Kodak and Ilford made transparency print material up to 50" wide.
Use a clear laminate and there you have it.
I have yet to try it, but thin Plexiglas could run through a large ink
jet.

Subject: Thomas Struth show and prints on plexiglass
I don't know if this is a true alt-process question, but...
I just saw a show in Dallas of Thomas Struth's photography. (You may
have
read about this show in a recent issue of the New Yorker.) Some of the
prints are huge color prints printed on plexiglass, it appears. My
partner
read somewhere in the exhibit that this is the case. I am wondering how
this is done. Is color emulsion "brushed" onto the plexiglass and then
the
plexi/emulsion is exposed and developed like any other color print?
Can
you "brush" other sorts of emulsions onto plexiglass?
The black and white silver gelatin prints were really beautiful also. In
fact I liked them better than the color prints. They would have been
great
in pt/pd, but you have to admit, sometimes silver gelatin has its
applications.
