Show Preview


Here's what the show at NBMAA will look like. Seeing the images as one big cluster mounted around a corner gives the impression of a dense display of religious imagery. I remember these kinds of installations from old catholic churches in Southern Germany. They were donated by grateful patrons who overcame disease, famine, loss, or other miseries. The pictures were often painted or embroidered, they showed saints or other religious imagery.

Model Gallery



Sure, there's InDesign to create layouts of exhibitions - but it's great fun to build a model of the gallery that will host one's future exhibition --- and then install the show on foam core walls. This is the NEW/NOW space at the New Britain Museum of American Art. I wonder whether Douglas Hyland (director) would recognize it. Check back in about a week to see what it looks like with the art work up.
