Photographer Eric Wong granted John Hertz’ wish to see how his Rotsler Award exhibit was displayed at Worldcon 75.
The exhibit took a circuitous route to Helsinki, the banners rolled in a mailing tube and delivered by Hertz at Westercon to Seth Breidbart for relay at NASFiC to Worldcon Vice-Chair Colette Frozard; she to give to W75 Exhibits Deputy Div. Head Terry Neill.
John adds, “Rick Kovalcik of Boston helped arrange by E-mail. He and I co-wrote an explanation of putting up the banners, and a request they not be confined to the Fanzine Lounge but placed where everyone could see them, as was done at MAC 2.”
The last leg of the exhibit’s journey will be when Chris Marble brings the banners home.
Located in the fan lounge, just above the table for freebies, ads and things on sale for the fan fund. Hard to miss.
So why the circuitous route? Is international mail that expensive or unsure?
John Hertz sends this comment by carrier pigeon.
John Hertz: The photographer’s name is in the first line: Eric Wong.
Eric always takes great photos. 🙂
By the way, we’re back home in Seattle now, after 24 days out of the country. What a great trip it was!
