NYC Gallery Visit


I travelled to NYC this weekend with my mentor, Jim Dow to visit some galleries. The list of galleries is long and to put it simply we went to about 12. I did get to see the Crewdson show and many others. The best part of the trip was the travel to and from NYC. Jim and I discussed everything from art to politics. I got a lot of great advice and hope to use it in my work. I had the pleasure to meet Janet Borden the owner of Janet Borden Gallery.I can't stress enough what a pleasure it has been to have Jim as a mentor. He is so giving and authentic. In a couple of weeks I will be accompanying Jim on a photo shoot. This is something I have been really looking forward to. We ended up our gallery trip at his gallery to see his work (which I love) before it was taken down.

Over the past month I have gone to numerous artist talks, the last being Larry Sultan at Mass Art. He certainly was the best. All of this information will be the focus of my last paper. I have taken more pictures this month than the previous and hope to continue this right up until our June residency.
