Pallet 005 (cos it’s the fifth time it’s happened) will be on the 14th October 2021 in Porters, Cardiff. It’s Free entry.
Hello Everyone. I’m back sooner than I’d anticipated and that’s because I have some news of the most excellent variety. I am going to be exhibiting in an art show.
Yes I am extremely excited for a number of reasons; although I have had work displayed before it’s never been at a location I could actually visit at the time. Also Covid is a massive bastard and has ruined the lives of everyone, whether you’ve lost a loved one or just been trapped indoors and unable to get on with a normal life for the past year and a half, and this is the first time I am going to be able to go to an event like this since everything went to shit.
Some of the images from “Un Giro D’Italia” my project documenting my travels in Italy that I’ll be displaying.
So some details. The event is called Pallet, it takes place on the 14th October 2021 and it is a small one night event that showcases artists and their work in the local area and takes place in a bar with live music and all the usual fun you get in an evening in a bar. I was due to display with them back in March of 2020 but, as we all know and as mentioned above, the C word happened. Here’s a link to their Instagram and to their Facebook, they seem like lovely people so even if wasn’t part of this event I’d be saying how good it looks.
So what do i plan to display? Well I’m glad you asked. I thought this event would be a great place to exhibit “Un Giro D’Italia” in it’s final and finished form. Yes I have made and sold zines of the project (thank you to everyone who’s ever bought one) but I’ve never displayed it all in one place as a set specific exhibition. I think this would be a nice way to put a line under this project. It’s been great fun visiting Italy year after year and documenting what I see and the places I go but since my last trip got cancelled (again Covid you scumbag!!) a lot has changed in my life what with me now having a house and all the fun and costly things that comes with it. So This is me saying “Un Giro D’Italia” after the 14th October 2021 will be officially a completed project and I’ll be moving on to new things.
Anyways, like I said I am super excited about this opportunity and can’t wait to show off my work. Thank You everyone who’s ever supported or said nice things about my photography as it means the World.
Until next time.
Keep Shooting Film Guys.
