Back in October 2006 I have send four of my prints of bigger size (approx:
11x17). There where not between the chosen once. Doesn't really matter. I
already had experience with how do they handle your work. How don't they
care and do not value. So I print images on not the best and most expensive
paper I have. Still, they look good just paper was only 190g so it feels
bit light especially in that size.
Well I have received the print back now! More than three month after the
exhibition ends. And how? Well In a simple paper wrap. Unfortunately
nothing terrible happens to them. I had another experience when I send to
other exhibition before this one. I was actually chosen one, so my prints
where exhibited. But I have received them banded on two places, they where
soak from fixer, so they where totally destroyed. That was my first post to
FIAP exhibitions and I said myself: never again I am going to use this
expensive paper, print of these sizes I am selling from 60-100 US$ and they
just destroyed them. What piss me off is the do not care about your
work.This time I was more lucky, but still I decided already long time ago
that I am not going to send anything anywhere to FIAP.
Images I sent to France in November last year, never arrived or at least i
didn't hear anything from there and the same probably happen to Spain as I
didn't heard from them for more than four month.
