Camille,
I have to say that reading your review was one of the most gratifying experiences for me and makes the hard work of launching the gallery feel worthy. It is so obvious that you really absorbed the show and did the research and thinking to write in a way that not only inspires people to see the show, but also helps them understand in a deeper way what they might be taking in, and hopefully drawing their own associations and feelings from. I also know you have many options for where you can put your time and talents, so we (everyone involved) feel honored that our work reached you and that you worked so hard to translate this for others. --Jon Schuerman, Instinct Gallery (quoted with permission) Curatorial Activities: Panel facilitator/coordinator: "Artist-Curated Spaces and Projects."
