While in residence at Struts & Faucet Andrew John Milne will advance his photographic practice using a large handmade camera obscura and vintage surveying equipment to render hybrid photographic drawings and spatial models. He will be working outside the gallery in public spaces, within the Museum of New Ideas, and within Struts Gallery and Faucet Media Arts Centre.
The Museum of New Ideas is a mobile exhibition space and darkroom in a truck that will be used to transport the large camera to Sackville. The Museum functions as a working darkroom allowing for insitu development of photographic test prints and large negatives.
