3 Curation Concepts This Year

2006 at Gallery Revisited I will be focusing on 3 curation concepts.
There will be 2 shows from each concept on the exhibition calendar this year.

Consumerism & Product
Lyrics & Dialogue
Small is Large

How does this work?
Upon reviewing portfolios, doing studio visits & showing artists I begin by making a mental
one-word note that describes their conceptual direction.
As time goes by a couple of new one-words are noted.
Then the list of artists associated with the one-word concept grows.
Then the one-words were combined by similarities for the final curation concept.

For example, there are a few artists that I show who work in the medium of artists books, or are being published. These artists were mentally logged into "Dialogue".
"Dialogue" on a conceptual level refers to the Metaphorical Dialogue that is created within the art concept that is in direct relation to literally using words in the art itself. It also refers to the object of a book itself as a vehicle for mental dialogue while reading or viewing - & if it has not words, what are the images saying.
This is Not to be confused with the "dialogue of art or an artists' dialogue" and how we see the word "Dialogue" used to label art talk in general. blahblahblah!!

There are also a few artists who work in direct relation or derive their personal concepts directly from lyrics in music, hence the "Lyrics" one-word. Now, many many artists state that music is an inspiration, but I narrowed the list to artists who visually translate music into their paintings or whose work is in direct correlation with musical performers as subjects.

Then I combined the two concepts of "Lyrics & Dialogue". After all, aren't songs words which create a musical dialogue and don't lyrics tell a story like a little book?

That's how this curator's brain works.
