Solo Exhibition at OCAF
Winter Respite, Photographs by Glenn Galau
Opening Reception 5 to 7 pm on Friday January 17, 2025

Mary Nouri insisted I include here a brief version of this Event, even though it is not at No. 3 Railroad Street.

On Friday, January 17 2025, there will be the Opening Reception for my solo show of photographs in the main gallery of the Oconee Cultural Arts Foundation (OCAF) at 34 School Street in Watkinsville. The show will run from January 10 through February 28, 2025. Gallery hours are 10 to 4, Tuesday through Saturday.

The theme is Winter Respite, with sequential subjects Better Atmospherics, Persistent Grasses, Harbingers, Recycle and Abandon, Being There, Discontinuities, and Return.

There are seventy-six images, comprising one hundred and five, framed, 40-inch by 20-inch dye-sublimated metal prints. Vivid Metal Prints made the outstanding prints. With only one exception, each framed print is attached via its frame to at least one other print by wooden lattice moulding. Although tedius to design and construct, this greatly helps in hanging and then positioning the prints. Each image is available for purchase, each in limited edition of five.

Better Atmospherics

In the top image, OCAF Board Member Jim Norton and OCAF Art Preparator Ashley Watson hang and align the top image assembly (the six-panel sunrise) in the first subject of the exhibition, Better Atmospherics. In the second image, both the top and bottom image assemblies (the three-panel cloud) are close to their final positions.

Harbingers

In the top image, Ashley, Ron Nagao, Frank Saggus, and Jim mount the left seven-mer assembly. The right seven-mer is on the table in the foreground. That right one is being mounted in the middle image and in the bottom image is the result, waiting for six more panels to be mounted below them.
