Ivo, that exhibit was two years ago and all the work was shipped to
the gallery ahead of time (except for a few who were able to hand
deliver). I only had to pick up one artist from the airport.
I am currently in the beginning stages of curating another exhibit
that I will try to find venues for. Three of the four artists who
will be in it were in the Oklahoma City exhibit, too. The tour will
coincide with the publication of a book that is being written about
us by Dr. Sandra Sider.
Thanks for your interest! If you want to know more about what I am
doing, you can find it at my website. http://www.wernerstudio.com

Planning meeting
I met with the staff members last week and finalized a lot of the details for the exhibit. In addition to providing an incredible art exhibit, we are working to make this a destination event with activities scheduled for the entire weekend. Remember that some of these details will change over ti...

Yes, she spent all the money she made working at Chanel on dead fish that she bought in Chinatown. Apparently, this went on for years until her husband developed health problems from it.
My husband loves me, but I don't think he'd live with 5,000 dead and decaying fish.
Petah Coyne
On Wednesday, I drove down to Oklahoma City to hear an artist's talk by Petah Coyne, a very prominent contemporary artist from NYC. The talk was held at Untitled[ArtSpace], where they will be exhibiting Modern Materials, the art quilt exhibit I'm curating for next summer. Petah gave a delightf...
Linda, they did leave their names and email addresses in the gallery's guest book, but I'm going to have to drag out my husband's microscope in order to read the writing. If I can, maybe I can get a jump on the tabloid media and know the name of the 11th Dr. Who.
Pam, the theme music would be perfect! BTW, I spotted four new cows beaming up on the itty bitty version of your Alien Abduction quilt. Do you think...???
Is it time for an update?
1. The new Programs Coordinator and main contact for the Modern Materials exhibit is Jan Evans. Hello, Jan! jan@1ne3.org 2. Untitled[ArtSpace] also has its first paid director, Jon Burris. I met him when I was in OKC last time for a planning meeting. I'm looking forward to working with him more,...
Thanks, Caroline!
Breaking my end-of-year curse
For the past several years, a strange pattern has developed in my art career. From January to about August, a lot of things seem to go right for me. I get accepted into juried exhibits, invited to be in invitationals, offered solo shows and so on. Then from the end of the summer until the end of...
Alyson, thank you so much for bringing attention to this problem. I've tried all the tricks you've suggested and sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. Many times, I've only learned about the name change after the publicity has already gone out. This occurs so frequently that I always write a note on my entry forms to please use all three names, but it still doesn't seem to have much effect.
Barbara, I totally agree about high end shows being the worst name changers, particularly shows at museums. I even had a problem with this last Fall at a local art museum (one that Alyson knows quite well). In every case this has happened to me, multiple written and verbal requests to various people were required before they got the message and sometimes, that still hasn't been enough. It's nice to know I'm not the only person having problems with this!
Insist that you are listed with the name you prefer
In posts on Thursday and Friday, I posed questions about your professional name: what you choose to use, the mistakes you might have made, and the problems you have encountered. The big problem for many seems to be the decision to use three names, like these artists: Jill Rumoshosky Werner Shei...
