So right now we have 2 shows in production. One a 2 person exhibition called "Techne" and the other is called "Justin Swinburne presents..." and it concerns some curatorial practices and social maintenance including a performance series.

Techne is sculpture work by Rob Andrade and Daniel Baird. Rob is a senior who'll be graduating this semester, check out his installation room in the upcoming fall BFA show. Daniel graduated last spring with his BFA from SAIC, and Daniel says "Watch out!". Each artist is contributing two individual pieces and then they have constructed this massive collaborative piece that is a huge parthenon (columns and all) made out of mostly wood, i think, that sits upside down on a 3' x 6' pedestal. All in all the work is pretty streamlined and technically well done too. Should be a pretty great show when we finish working through the installation stage. After priming and painting the walls, which is a relatively fast process, this show is proving to be a pretty in-depth install because alot of the work is pretty huge and has to be assembled in the gallery. Also, there is one installation that our floating wall had to be moved to accommodate. Fortunately, Rob and Daniel are very apt and things are going smoothly. The show opens on Thurs. Nov. 15th in the LG Space of the 2nd floor in Sharp. Hope to see you there.

As far as "Justin Swinburne presents..." goes, we have just began organizing and producing the show. We're still in the early stages, but that's actually alot of work because we are making all the big decisions and doing the designing of publicity and text materials which really is how you figure out what the show will be about. Things like show postcards and posters and paint colors are really important because they force us to figure out what we want you guys to think. That show opens after Thankgiving on Tues. Nov. 27th at 4 in Gallery X of the first floor Columbus bldg. and then other performance dates I'll give you soon.

So thats the jist of the galleries this week. Later gators.
