The Friends of Galt (F.O.G.) are pleased to invite you to the opening of Steve Mark’s
Uncontrolled Airspace
This exhibit of 57 large format B&W photographs has been culled from the 200+ that make up the documentary work The Galt Airport Project which Steve shot throughout 2008. The photographs capture the people, activities, scenes and ethos that pervade this little patch of heaven in Greenwood, Illinois known as Galt Airport.
The project was photographed in 4x5” large format B&W using studio and press equipment from the 40’s and 50’s – an era in which high resolution and studio lighting were hallmarks of the profession. This ethic was carried forward in the current show and all prints on display are 16x20” or larger. In addition to the 57 matted and framed prints, all 200+ photographs from the project will be projected on a large screen throughout the evening. A photo-shoot setup illustrating the manner in which the studio equipment and techniques were used will be shown, and this setup will include a classic airplane. The use of the maintenance hangars at Galt to display this show will add to the unique atmosphere of a gallery opening in the very environment in which the photographs were created.
This event is one day only, Saturday, May 30, 2009 from 12:00 noon until 9:00p.m. in the maintenance hangars at Galt airport. Admission is free (donations to cover the food costs are appreciated but not required), all ages are welcome, and everyone is invited. The photographer will be present to discuss the work and appetizers and soft drinks will be served courtesy of the Friends of Galt.
If you are a devotee of grass roots aviation, love fine art photography or are interested in a fun evening at the Friendliest Airport Around, then make your way to Galt for this event. And all you Galt regulars who volunteered over the last year for these seemingly innumerable photos, this is your first chance to see yourselves “in action”. See you there!
