Myth Show Almost Here

Today was the day chosen to install the Belmar Urban Myths exhibition at the Boatworks. Since about a third of the work in the show is from me, I figured it would be nice to help hang everything. Because we had a lot of walls to fill and relatively few people had submitted work, it was decided to give me a whole wall and use all 8 framed supermarket prints that were part of the video. I hung them two on each wire, as seen above. Another artist who attended the workshops and received some help from Mark in making her video also filled a wall with the pastel drawings she used to make it. We filled in the rest of the work around it, leaving a corner where a video monitor will be set up to show a loop of all the video works for the duration of the exhibition. (during the opening reception we'll use the big projection screen in the back room)

After some debate, it was decided that the opening reception will be this coming Saturday, August 7, 2010, from 3:00 to 5:00 pm. The show remains up during gallery hours through August 27th. Admission is free.
