one of my fave exhibitions took place in a derelict warehouse down from Spadina and Queen, Toronto. *The building was scheduled for demolition soon after the show. It featured the work of Attila Lukacs from a private colector . The building stank, the lighting was poor and a dog shat on the floor(not sure if it was a critic).
It was fantastic, not the dog stuff, the whole event.
The building/environment itself was as much about the exhibition as the work on the walls....often galleries limit themselves to the four walls of the gallery. I think the 'new' gallery will develop to include alternative venues, both physical and other as well the relationship between artist and gallerist will be be more colabrative than role play. To answer your question about traditional gallery openings, no I am not a fan, but an event, sign me up! Bazza
I would love to see more experiments outside of gallery space and encourage it.
Pardon for a translator uses, I do not dominate the language. I'm Spanish.
A few days ago, I have inaugurated an exhibition to which only 7 persons came, though a work was done of mailing to hundreds of persons. To the artists' inaugurations not acquaintances or emergent since like it is my case, the people give him few attention, after if they are going to see the exhibition in the successive days but to the inaugurations the people do not go. Then I think that it is possible to give an incentive, something that wakes up the interest of the people, which they extract algun benefit for them, that I, a drawing of some small piece or not, but if that the system of now does not work. I have appeared in my next exhibition, simply not to inaugurate, to open and point. So much in this topic as(like) in general, the world of the art needs to apply a marketing mas imaginatively, the old system already does not work.
