Photographer Sandi Wheaton, the woman who lost her job and took the opportunity to take a lengthy road trip to document Route 66, will have her images on display at not one, but two art galleries in Canada.
The opening nights of the exhibits about car culture coincide with the nearby 2010 Detroit Auto Show.
The Art Gallery of Windsor, Ontario, will hold an exhibit, titled “Here in My Car,” starting at 7 p.m. Friday that includes Wheaton’s work.
The gallery will show off Wheaton’s collection of photos taken during her Route 66 trip. The images will be at the gallery through March 28. Here portfolio can be seen here.
Artcite in Windsor also is hosting a “Here in My Car — Beyond Autopia and Autogeddon” exhibit at the same gallery, and it kicks off the same night. That show’s opening night also is Friday, and it runs through Feb. 5.
For Artcite, Wheaton will show her Route 66 time-lapse video that she assembled during her trip. A sample of the video — a stretch of vintage Mother Road near Arcadia, Okla. — is below:
