Part of the plan, Gildar says, was always to document the whole thing in a book, and that tome, The Big Picture 2011: Images Inside, Out the Door and Around the World, now lives in cyberspace at the self-publishing site Blurb.com. You can view a digital version of the 92-page book, artfully designed by Jesse Nobbe for Illiterate Media, at no cost; it includes installation photos from here and abroad, as well as a pictorial index of every work shared in The Big Picture. Or if you prefer, you can buy a bound, coffee table-ready hard copy for $67.95 at the site. Either way, it's an exhilarating diary of work-in-progress. "We want to acknowledge the fact that this is a compilation of work done by hundreds of people," Gildar notes. "It's not just images in a book." It's also a subtle kickoff for things to come. Mark Sink confirms that plans are already coming together for a biennial Month of Photography to return in March 2013, and Gildar intimates that it will again include The Big Picture. We can hardly wait to see what's in store.Find information on hundreds of other arts and entertainment events in our online Calendar.
