Ed Smidt – Photographer

About “Ed Smidt – Photographer”

Craig was invited to curate the exhibition “Ed Smidt – Photographer” for the Perth International Arts Festival 2013 season. The exhibition commemorated the life and career of the late Albany identity, photojournalist and adventurer with sixty 2D works and object installations in the Albany Town Hall. The exhibition won accolades as a highlight of the Great Southern program attracting more than 2000 visitations over the 2 week season. Ed’s works were varied including landscapes and an important record of Albany’s whaling industry. The impact of the exhibition reverberated widely and represented an important contribution to the community.
