Exhibition - Midland Arts and Antiques Market, Indianapolis

The Exhibition is up thanks to the hard work of Satch and the staff at Midland Arts and Antiques Market.

Now that the exhibition is up, Greg from Midland will design and install the furniture, accessories, art and antiques that will make up the center of the exhibit area. Midland is going to look great for the New Year and for Super Bowl visitors. Be sure to make a trip downtown to check it out.

Thanks to Satch who designed and installed the exhibit

Here's a quick video preview of the exhibit: (making these videos still pretty much terrify me, but it is part of the project so I press on!)

Ron - Finalizing Exhibit Design

Ron - Printing

I have finished the printing for the exhibition at Midland.  I will be putting together the final order of the hanging over the next few days.

There is still much to do, printing of signs, artists' statements and the like.

Ron - Photograph From Along the National Road

This is one of my favorite photographs that I made as a part of Truth From Perceptions.

The door of the business has handwritten hours for every day of the week. No fancy sign here, not even one telling us what the business is. Obviously the locals know.

 The windows of the building have been bricked in at different times. The contrast of the air conditioner bringing in fresh air and the exhaust fan that jettisons the stale air from a seemingly closed off space adds to the mystery of the business.

 This business, in my mind, is a perfect metaphor for the financial and economic crisis that the small towns and their people are facing.

Ron-Truth From Perceptions Printing

I've begun the final printing for the Truth From Perceptions portion of my exhibit.  There will be two sizes of prints - approx. 11"x17" and 6"x9."

I talked to my nephew, Edward Henry Satchwill III, last evening and he will be writing a piece for the Truth From Perceptions portion of the exhibit.  This will close the circle.  His poem was the main inspiration behind this project and now after seeing the photographs contained in the exhibition he will write about those photographs.

Ron - Polaroid Work Printed

I am making progress toward the opening of the exhibition.  This afternoon I completed printing the Polaroid work.  Satch and I are quite pleased with the results.

And, for the Truth From Perceptions Project I have edited 110 photographs down to 45 for the exhibition.  Making over 500 negatives over seven months has been a challenge that I have truly relished.  I feel that it is imperative that I make a book that presents the entire scope, at this point in time, of Truth From Perceptions.

Currently I am designing the layout of the exhibit and doing some additional writing as well.

Thank you for continuing to check out our blog.  And I would like to give a special shout out to the people from overseas that have taken the time to look at our work.
