This weekend, my new show will be installing. It;s been a very different experience this time around; the group was extremely easy to please: they had no objections to any catering options and they didn't want to insure anything in the show. I learned that we would have to get an explicit statement from them for waiving their insurance; so I had to write up an email asking them to word it "more specifically". It was strange twisting words that way simply to make it legal, but I understand. You see, they chose not to insure because all their work is digitally based and on their computer hard drives, and the gallery will not insure computers or even the files located on the computers. This is a very interesting look at how technological advance is challenging the way fine art traditionally practices in the gallery setting.
Very simple poster design, eh? I think it actually suites the show concept rather well.
Aside from preparing for the next show, I remained true to my word and organized the hell out of the office. I'm talking major file organization and scrap paper tossing. Also, the emails -which go back in the inbox as far as 2009- are all properly put into their own folders. Something tells me this won't last though. And it may be the three files that suddenly appeared on the desktop after I returned from a lunch break. That's what you get when you share computers!
