As part of the 2011 Month of Photography, Illiterate Gallery hosted The Big Picture, an exhibition of grand scale contemporary black and white photography. The intent of the exhibit was to connect people through an exchange of images as information instantly transferred and blown up to large proportions. Through a combination of invitations and an international open call for entry, hundreds of images were gathered from talented photographers all over the globe and enlarged as monumental Xerox prints. The Big Picture began inside the gallery and spilled out into satellite venues, the streets of Denver and sister cities around the globe.
