it's a wrap

so liminal has been over for a while and as a curator, it's been a fantastic opportunity and a little strange in the areas that i've felt excited and others i just don't care. and now the real work begins in trying to get it shows elsewhere. there are a few possibilities in the wings, which everyone will have to just wait for until they're confirmed, but for now, here's a bit of a wrap up of the show:





the opening night was a blast! about 250 swanned in and about Project for a couple of hours. some of the regulars were there, some of 'the old guard', ex Project board members and artists who used to exhibit at the old space, as well as a bunch of young kids, older more distinguished types and the artists friends and families. Moira and I said a few words, thanks, etc and a bit of an outline of the show's abstract, for the sake of the kids :)




During the 2 weeks of the show, we had a whole bunch of people come and check it out - I think i already mentioned 640.. which is a wicked show for the gallery so far. A few sales, which is great 'cos we took commission for the first time, thanks to being able to pay artists' fees. In fact, we found out that we were the first gallery to ever pay May Barrie, who is a modernist sculptor and whose CV is a gazillion pages long, an artist fee!! How exciting is that!! Hopefully it's a premise that continues.



It was such an easy show to be a part of. All the artists were so supportive and easy to work with and I look forward to hopefully taking the show onwards.
