Today I got to help my friends Kate Themel and Barb McKie hang a Fiber Revolution exhibit in 919 Gallery, Unity of Greater Hartford in South Windsor. I love hanging art shows. I get such a charge!
Years ago while I was representing some communities and a couple of individual Australian Aboriginal artists' work here in the US, I was fortunate enough to have a wonderful mentor. My mentor was, at that time in the 1990's an art professor, but in his undergraduate days he had been a window display artist for many up-scale, pretty swanky shops in Palm Beach, FL. He had such an eye and he was articulate with his explanations.
Before that I had been a real estate broker for almost 20 years. At that point I learned to imagine and 'see' space, floor plans and architects drawings. Put the two together and you spell L O V E to Hang Exhibits.
"Fragmentations" will be displayed until September 22nd. The Opening Reception is Sunday, August 18 when site-curator Kate Themel will be on hand to talk about the art work. The installation really flows beautifully.
I took some quick snapshots after we had finished. Enjoy ;^)
