Anna Wilding : Exhibiting in Art Galleries and Celebrate Hope President Obama Collection exhibit

 Anna wilding love visiting art galleries. I make a point of it every city I am in. I have an art collection I am growing every year. Conversely it has been an honor to start having my bodies of work selected by galleries for exhibit. My feature films such as Buddha Wild  play in cinemas at times, and my music videos play on various platforms like VH1 , MTV but there is something special and unique about holding an art exhibit that personally I cherish.

I have been fortunate to show at three galleries as a solo exhibitor – month long shows  such as Celebrate Hope and the Leica Gallery as part of group exhibits and now live auctions on platforms such as Makers Place and Super Rare. As we head into 2021 shows that were cancelled due to the pandemic are now back in talks for 2021 and 2022 including in Europe.I am even more fortunate and thankful that work has sold at each Gallery by amazing collectors located all over the world. In terms of the physical space some of the galleries I have shown in have been large contemporary multi million dollar galleries and art centers and others smaller and historic but pack no less of a punch. All are significant and well respected galleries .

My shows were packed and I enjoyed meeting and greeting guests at the openings and other occasions. My work of the Obama’s -Celebrate Hope -the Obama Collection – is a significant project that I took great care with and has taken years to build and make. I launched it in Black History Month in America in 2019. I am also excited to learn that the two beautiful portraits by artists Kehinde Wiley and Amy Sherald of President Obama and Mrs Michelle Obama have left the Smithsonian Portrait Gallery and are now on display at the Chicago Institute of Art. I will definately be viewing these two hand painted portraits as they tour around America.

Anna Wilding on Filming and photographing President Barack Obama and fomrer First Lady Mrs Michelle Obama

  Anna Wilding   The thing with tabloids and other sites they engage in not telling the truth to drive engagement. A great shame as great, real stories do not get out. So here are some fast facts that correct a tabloid headline. I have long said, for years, it was an honor photographing the Obama's and I exhibit my work to this day. Mesmerize by Anna Wilding and Celebrate Hope.   However I never did plan to sue the Obama's for copying one of my photographs for President Barack Obama's book. As both one of the top magazines in   Europe   -the Georgian Journal who interviewed me about it,  and American Slate magazine so rightly noted, I did not threaten to sue the Obamas publishers over Obama’s book cover. Nor did I ever say I would, nor was I even thinking about it. The fact I put out an instagram post pointing out the likeness of both photographs, does not mean I planned to sue. Why on earth would I do that ?Those words never uttered my lips. Makes no sens...

Anna Wilding on food as fuel for still editorial photographers, directors, filmmakers

  Anna Wilding    This subject matter is a bit off the beaten track for me, but it is what I do in my day to day life as a photographer and director . I do get asked this. In the  film business  I was working 12-18 hour days and at one point did 72 hours straight. I will never forget that. I was Art Director and Set Decorator and my business partner and colleague Production Designer was Jack C . We had some  ridiculous hurdles to cross including absurd time frames for set designs and builds. We met all of them of course ,with little to no sleep for 10 days, as that is just what one did in those days. Exhausting . All sorts of things come up in production. On another film we were filming on set in Los Angeles but the rest of the movie had shot in Asia. The movie used Asian coconuts which could not be sourced in Los Angeles. At 2am as we frantically tried to build a replica coconut, as it was an important scene . Funny but true.T...

Toxic male bullying and jealous men - & yes there are good men too...this isn't one of them

Image
Anna Wilding What women isn't sick of being bullied by toxic men in the workplace, online and elsewhere? Men tearing women down out of pure jealously and hate.  UNESCO recently completed a report showing that men tearing down successful women and form within , in their own professions, is happening at an alarming rate. I will add that link later. Recently I called out a fanatic who has been doing it to me online and inciting his online pack.  He has been doing it for three years..I finally called him out below after 3 years.. I spare myself the indignity  of reading his blog but I hear about it and seeing the fake misleading headlines. He has nothing on me, like other women, I have done nothing wrong. He prides himself on creating misery and has a history of doing so.. In this instance he is a kiwi and kiwi men have a long standing history of old school  chauvenism,  misogny  and politically tearing into ex pats -in spite of a female prime minister.I final...
