Once your solo exhibition comes down, how do you keep the show on the road? What does an exhibition proposal look like? How do you manage shipping costs and logistics for shows booking 3–4 years out? What factors go into the decisions of exhibiting completed work in a space (framing, mounting, transporting)?
Join us for our January Photovox 2024 on January 10, 2024, at 6:30 pm! The event can be accessed online through our website link. It’s free for CPAC members and ten dollars for non-members.
To kick off PhotoVox in the new year, we’ve invited photographer R.J. Kern to share all the nuts and bolts of how he booked over twelve exhibitions for his photographic project, The Unchosen Ones. For Kern, traveling exhibitions support his creative practice, keep his books alive, and create predicable income.
Kern’s work has been featured in National Geographic; in group exhibitions at the Zurab Tsereteli Museum of Modern Art (Tbilisi), the National Portrait Gallery (London), and the Yixian International Photo Festival (Anhui, China); and solo exhibitions at the Griffin Museum of Photography (Winchester, Massachusetts) and Plains Art Museum (Fargo).
