Lightpainting Exhibition In The Town Hall

This was done by WitheWall
WhiteWall and MeinFoto.de for me.
WhiteWall provides the higher quality images, but is 4x more expensive than Meinfoto. Quality has its price.

KUNSTMATRIX

to create a virtual 3D exhibition. There I collected all the data about my works, such as size, description, price, etc.

Then I integrated this exhibition into my website
CandelART.de.

Now a caption had to be created for each picture on display. To do this, I used the database on my website and created a PHP file that displayed the data in a suitable layout on the screen. This then had to be printed out and laminated in. On this occasion I created a logo, which can be seen on the top left of each description. I had not yet published many of the works on my homepage. So I first had to upload them to my website and enter them into the database. Then I created the QR codes for each work to direct the visitor to the appropriate website.

Most of the advertising was done by the municipality. We organized interviews with newspaper reporters, printed posters and invitations and advertised the exhibition on social media. My wife and I then distributed some of the posters and invitations in the community. I worked through a personal invitation list by email and telephone. It was a welcome opportunity to rekindle old friendships and have nice conversations.

One day before the vernissage, Wolfgang Milting, my wife Geane and I hung up the pictures in the foyer of the town hall. I distributed a few of my light painting tools in the display cases. Of course, as expected, we changed the plan we had drawn up a little. In the end, everything found its place. To make sure I could give my presentation the next day, I connected my computer to the in-house projector and tested the system.

Now I just had to prepare my presentation. Time was running out. The presentation was to last 15 - 20 minutes and I had only made rudimentary preparations.
So I had to work another night shift: selecting images, writing texts, putting everything together in Keynote and finally writing my presentation text in Pages.

The next day, I looked at the presentation again and put the finishing touches to it. Then I tried to present the written text and made some improvements here too. At the end, I gave the presentation again to my wife Geane. When she had no more objections, I was satisfied and we went on our way.
