Seven: Installation Day One
As with any large, multi-gallery exhibition, there were some hiccups on the first day of Seven's installation, which forced the move of a very visible spot to another area (thank God for a very flexible artist); plus the mysterious move of some artwork from one area to another; and the selected artist whom we all forgot to add to the master list; and the usual last minute broken glass...
And Mark Jenkins' tape sculptures have somehow moved from the tree in front of the buildings to the building itself!
And below is Kelly Towles painting a wall in the second floor gallery...
Contact your Senator
I have just learned that Senator Tom Coburn will likely offer a floor amendment in the Senate that would cut funding for the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) by $5 million in FY 2006. I ask that you take a minute to contact your Senators and urge them to vote against this amendment.
As you may recall, the Senate Appropriations Committee on June 9 passed an amendment that increased FY 2006 funding for the NEA by $5 million.
However, Senator Coburn's floor amendment would remove this increase, thereby flat-funding the agency at this year's level.
We expect that Sen. Coburn will offer his amendment later today. The full Senate will likely vote on the amendment tomorrow morning. Please send a message to your Senators by 11 a.m. EDT on Tuesday, June 28, to ensure that they vote against this decrease in arts funding.
Contact your Senator here.
Early starts for Seven
Mark Jenkins installation for Seven, titled "Tres Marias," has already been installed in the trees outside the Warehouse Theatre and Galleries; inside Kelly Towles is already laboring on a wall, and Alessandra Torres will soon start on transforming a room.
Seven's opening is this Thursday starting at 6PM.
Art Critic Bingo
Here's how you start your Monday morning: Art Critic Bingo!
P.S. Thanks James!
