As an artist, he was not at all happy with the manner in which his work was presented, nor was I as his gallerist. This was communicated to the curator, but given the unique situation, he was not able to make the changes that even he said he would have made, given the opportunity and with the benefit of hindsight.

Yes he did stretch it out to an hour and a half but he seemed to express in frustration during his presentation that the slide show (which I loved) wasn't exactly what he normally does, the same way his book printed by Steidl wasn't exactly his book either. Why wouldn't a special event 5 hour slide show talk by Jacob Holdt live at the New York Photo Festival make sense? Essentially what I was trying to get across through my post is that the Festival need not be some gigantic over reaching event that covers all areas of photographic practice. What might be more valuable is a smaller more focused festival with in depth explorations diving into specific photographic practices chosen each year. That could be another way to deal with this tough economic reality.

His slide show talks average about 5 hours; he and we knew this made no sense, so he asked for an hour and we have him an hour and a half, if you were checking. He also stated he does not consider himself a photographer; that was his first sentence. The photograph is not as important to him as the people he makes friends with and the lives he changes. As to Jon Levy's pavilion, this is precisely what he wanted to do with the work. I thought it was a provocative installation. Each of his artist was on hand to create the installation, so what you criticizing is what Jon and his artists wanted. I think you are saying you would like the organizers to take a stronger hand in controlling the presentations; we don't do that, we would like to give as free reign as possible. And yes, we printed as much as we could for the festival, but even if we had the financial sponsors we had last year, a good deal of the work did not exist framed to begin with. The artists created what they wanted for the festival. Finally, reviews and awards may be tedious, but they do provide invaluable support for producing and mounting what you see, especially in this tough economic reality.
