(e)merge on Saturday

Remind me to remind myself that when the Nats are playing, it is not a good idea to be driving around the ballpark when the game ends.

In case you're wondering what a room at the (e)merge art fair looks like, here's the corner showing the work of Judith Peck on the dark wall and Jeannette Herrera on the console and one of my pieces on the stripey wall.

VIP night at (e)merge

Pretty impressive opening at (e)merge last night... good crowds, including significant presence by many of the DMV's museum curators, directors and independent curators, and (of course) the ebullient Mera Rubell.

We had some good opening night sales - five of my pieces and one of Elissa Farrow-Savos' major sculptures (see image to the right), which went to the collection of a well-known DMV art collector.

And a shout out to DMV uberartist Victor Ekpuk, who bought my piece in the WPA's room at (e)merge; it is always an honor when a fellow artist buys your work!

Come visit in rooms 205-206!

Estate of David Seymour (CHIM)

The CHIM collection website has opened at the Library of Congress: David Seymour (CHIM) Photograph Collection.  

 

These photos emphasize the Spanish Civil War period, and I am told that more will be added.  There will be a November public reception in DC, and as soon as I find out more, I will let you know about that.

Internationally known Projects Gallery announces a call to artists for “Square Foot Art Basel Miami Redux.”  During this year’s world-acclaimed Art Basel Miami, Projects Gallery will again create a mosaic-style wall in its trendy Wynwood Lofts gallery in the Wynwood Arts District of Miami.  A minimum of 100 artists will be selected on a first-come basis.  Creating a grid comprised of 12”x12” individual spaces with works of all styles and media, Projects Gallery will provide artists an opportunity to be part of the Art Basel Miami art fairs events.  This remarkable gathering of international art fairs and renown emerging venues, such as Aqua, Art Miami, Concept, NADA, Pulse, Red Dot, Select, Scope and numerous others, creates an arts-conscious concentration uniquely found in Miami every year in early December.  It attracts collectors, curators and artists worldwide in a variety of settings with a level of enthusiasm and energy that is fitting for this international destination.

Open to all artists working in all styles and media.  The only requirement is that all works must conform to a dimension of 12”H x 12”W, inclusive of any framing.  Juried by Projects Gallery Director, Helen Hyder, and international artist, Frank Hyder, the first 100 artists to apply are guaranteed at least one space on the grid.
