We recently had the chance to see Karin present a talk about an exhibition she created in Manchester called AAA Sean Ryder & Friends.
The exhibition was featured around the Manchester musician Sean Ryder and the time Karin spent on tour with him in the years prior.
It was a great presentation and really informative. We talked in depth about the type of prints, framing and display methods Karin used and she was happy to explain the process of selecting these and her reasons for doing so.
We were told that originally the gallery had agreed to pay for the exhibition as long as Karin went through their contacts etc. Originally this wasn't an issue but when it came to printing the images Karin said she just wasn't happy with the quality of the printers they were using. She spent several months researching and finding printers who could produce the quality she wanted. She also experimented with several types of print. She talked about printing on glass, aluminium amongst other things! Which was a really interesting insight and gave us food for thought for our own festivals.
Overall I really enjoyed seeing the exhibition and the video above is a credit to it. It was received well by the public, the gallery and the sponsors and she went on to sell some of the prints to manchester based businesses who still have some of them displayed today!
