Photo Swap
Timothy Pru's Photo Swap
This just in from Heartstormer EJ Carr. It is a very interesting concept and I invite readers to visit this site and to comment what you think of it.
From the Paul Kuhn Gallery website:
Paul Kuhn Gallery is pleased to present the inaugural PHOTO SWAP, opening February 18 at 2 p.m. Photo Swap is held in conjunction with "EXPOSURE" Calgary and Banff's annual photography festival held during February and March. Photo Swap, conceived by Timothy Prus of London, England, is a unique exhibition where anyone can be an exhibiting artist and collector at the same time. At minimum 1,000 photographs will be on display and everyone is invited to come in with their own photograph and exchange it for one of the works on the walls. The changing and evolving appearance of the walls will be recorded throughout the month long duration of the exhibition. At the conclusion of the event the traveling PHOTO SWAP will move on to a different venue in a different city with a fresh set of photographs looking for a new home. Other venues planned over the next two years include Prague, China, Photo London, Paris, Ulan Bator, Mexico City and the AGO in Toronto. Anyone and everyone is invited to come in and swap. Its fun, its easy and very engaging. Opening day is Saturday February 18th at 2 pm. The exhibition will be up until March 18, 2006
