I have work in two group exhibitions that are Participating Spaces in FotoFest 2016. My group of fine art photographers, Pixels & Silver, has a show named Group Dynamics at Aker Gallery. The show juror was Clint Wilhour, curator of the Galveston Arts Center.
The other exhibition, Eyes on a Changing Texas, features the work of Texas members of the American Society of Media Photographers, the premier trade organization of the world's most respected photographers. The show is up in the lobby of 1600 Smith, which is a skyscraper in downtown Houston. The show jurors were Leslie Baldwin, Amy George, and Sarah Sudhoff.
The ASMP show is quite an endeavor as the Houston chapter volunteers organize, install, and take down the show. The marble walls of the lobby create quite a challenge for hanging framed prints; the surface of the walls must be preserved, and yet fasteners used must be strong enough to keep prints safely up for five weeks. The 3M Command line of hanging fasteners has proven to be a reliable solution for the ASMP show.
