Calgary Performing Arts Film Archive at Glenbow 30 years (and 18 months) in the making.
Since 2004 I had looked up at the dozens of heavy file boxes of film laying dormant on top of what used to be my darkroom. What would happen if I died and the contents were carelessly tossed ? Or if the boxes remained up there forever, would they eventually just deteriorate ? The historical contents needed a proper home, a permanent storage place.
In 1986 I starting photographing performance art for The Banff Centre and since 1988 I have been the photographer of much of Calgary’s Performing Arts community. I photographed 100’s of performances, worked with 100’s of talented artists. Everything I photographed was labelled, and carefully preserved but what now? Since 2004 pretty much everything became digital. Work can be sourced at the touch of a button, but my silver halide film archive was deep and arduous and I felt a responsibility to make sure all this film, this body of work created by myself and so many people should always be accessible.
On September 10th 2015 (my birthday) I donated all my films to Glenbow.
