Hi.
I bought a 50x70cm plastic frame and in it I made a mosaic with my middle format contact prints.
I got this week free and I was planning on visit galleries and maybe auction houses to see if I get luck. But then I thought that I have tried a lot of galleries with no success.
Then I had this idea about instead spend time trying to put my pics on somebody wall, I could just take my contact prints mosaic and stand it on a tripod in a busy commercial street. Have my show right there, no doors, no hide my pics in boxes until find a place to exhibit it.
Of course that there is nothing like galleries collectors and name. And in the street it would be very random people look at it but still better than nothing.
Because of the law I would not sell them (at least not as purpose to have my prints being there in the street). But only showing and who knows making contacts. Contacts with people who eventually could become a buyer, contact with people who could be interested on join me on project as photographer, model, painter, writer, and so on.
Does it sound stupid, waits of time again, or you think could be an interesting idea worth trying?
As far as I know it is not illegal stand in the street to exhibit you art. It is basic what street performances does. Right?
