Synchronous Exhibit in Philly this Friday the 6th.

Regarding the curation concept of "Small is Large" & the weirdness of the collective unconscious or synchronicity:

In August I showed the collaborative installation "Polyponesian Tuberfoil Mangrove" by Pete Goldlust & Julie Hughes. Later in October I showed danielle b. ashton "daniellians".

These 3 artists all work within a conceptual realm of creating small art forms that are assembled together to ultimately create either a larger installation or a larger relationship between the pieces, on both a metaphorical & literal level. All artists were in my mental
one-word "Small". But yet their work meant a larger whole - hence "Large". There they are, an oxymoron that is one & the same, making it a dichotomy instead. Anyway, I digress...

So, it was very interesting to me when Pete told me about a show that he & Julie are participating in - This Friday the 6th is the reception. It's at a space called Vox Populi.
Talk about a Good Fit. Talk about the curator (Elizabeth Grady) making all of that come together. An impressive endeavor. Love her mind.
The name of the show is "Parts to the Whole".
Then danielle points out the December issue of Art News. "Why Small Sculpture is Big"
Now, I do not read Art News...of course with every art magazine there are the likes & dislikes crowds - but maybe I will check it out next time I'm at a magazine stand.
This article was very appropriate to our discussion.

So hard to be original these days, but I would like to take the positive outlook that I don't feel alone in my ideas & know that from a curation standpoint I am intuitively in-synch with something in the art world.

To read the about the idea of Synchronicity.

Sidebar: Elizabeth Grady also works with the Diane Arbus estate, who I referenced on this blog just a few days ago. weird.
