Miles From Home

I would officially like to welcome all of my blog readers to the upcoming group show Miles From Home. This show is the first in an upcoming collective involving SVA Alumni. Personally I am very excited and proud to be a part of this fine group of art-makers.

The official press release is as follows,

"In the group show Miles From Home, twelve artists explore the fragmentary and shifting nature of the world around them in correlation to their own development as a newly established collective of creative individuals. The typical notion of 'home' is one of safety and stability; but 'home', particularly now, is subjective, constantly changing, and often based on illusory memories.

Within this realm of uncertainty, these artists utilize the photographic medium to explore the roles that risk play in their lives and work. An artist coming into their own at any time faces the unknown, gazes into the void, and takes a risk by plunging in, by making work, by not giving into society's obvious structures, and by creating their own community within which to create, inspire, and take chances. As the models around us undergo a series of great shifts— in the economy, in the art market, in technology, in distribution modes, in communication itself—these artists see themselves presented with opportunity.

This collection of work does not try to provide answers, or to prophesy the future. Rather, these artists are building their own maps, creating their own pathways through the world and their work, and seeking the roads that will move them forward. They are taking hold of an unpredictable future with a firmer grasp, this show being the first result of their collective strength and inspiration."

The show will be open until September 20th, however only on Saturdays and Sundays. If you want to meet me in person and speak with me I will be at the opening on Saturday, September 5th from 2-5pm and I'll be gallery sitting on Sunday, September 20th from 12 to 6pm.

I would love to meet other artist and I also hope I get to make some new friends.
Cya at the show!
