Things slow a little as Summer deepens and I start to catch up on little details and then I start to think about the gallery schedule for the next year. I'm always scheduling ahead, but </span></span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;" >things change and while I have a general idea of all the artists, I don't always have a good idea of how their exhibitions will fit as a season. But then, one day, almost all at once, I do. So I stretch, look toward the horizon and start making phone calls. </span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;" ><br /><br />Many gallery artists have major exhibitions at the gallery about 2 to 2.5 years apart, so I am always, in a way, thinking that far ahead.<br /><br />Don Harvey will have a show April 27 to May 26; Dexter Davis, September 7 to October 6; and Hildur Ásgeirsdóttir Jónsson, November 16 to December 29. And that is where it starts<br /><br />By the middle of July I will have it figured through July 2013.

It is an exciting event for me. Most often, I find myself working with artists somewhat later in their careers - sometime after they have achieved a measure of recognition and after they have reached a measure of commitment to a style or direction. But Koehn - still in his mid 20s - is at an age where studio visits a few months apart always reveal new directions and discoveries.<br /><br />The exhibition that will open in June is quite different from the exhibition that I thought I was scheduling a year ago. It's a nice surprise. <br /><br /></div><span style="font-family: arial;"></span></div>William Bustahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07818272274441144530noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7215780734002003392.post-36970049090728668912010-12-03T13:19:00.000-08:002010-12-03T14:10:44.773-08:00Schedule for 2011<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIVvWQMwpNwmDAKbBUpGlj2rwcT_sDJ-MDa9FYo62Nh27c81Z5qlKfg8v-yViEMc7siVl5vOHemDtV7XWtGxME3beYnElNuKFgyCdH_U1lAF4XZtqWHP3aGkllxdCrSUzn_QQCIj9j96A/s1600/BLACK+HEADS.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5546578686030248498" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 306px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIVvWQMwpNwmDAKbBUpGlj2rwcT_sDJ-MDa9FYo62Nh27c81Z5qlKfg8v-yViEMc7siVl5vOHemDtV7XWtGxME3beYnElNuKFgyCdH_U1lAF4XZtqWHP3aGkllxdCrSUzn_QQCIj9j96A/s400/BLACK+HEADS.jpg" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;">January 7 to February 6</span> <div><br /><br /></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>Dexter Davis</strong>.

I entered into the expansion with a lot of guesses - most of them good, I think. But I have begun enough art projects over the years to have little confidence in initial expectations, knowing that there is learning that happens, changing perspective and imperatives. I feel like I am starting all over again.<br /><br />In part, the gallery has always been a laboratory for me to work out ideas, to explore the possibilities of art and audience in our city. This continues. What seems most exciting is that I will have the opportunity to have several exhibitions on view at the same time, but not necessarily of the same length of time, overlaying each other, creating a narrative that is more reflective of the on-going narrative of ideas in Cleveland's community of visual artists.<br /><br />The gallery will have seven or eight openings a year - the Friday after Labor Day; the Friday in October 5 weeks later; the Friday before Thanksgiving; sometimes the first Friday in the new year; and then shows opening in early February, mid March, late April, and early June. At each opening, at least one show will open, but most often two, and occasionally three.<br /><br />One of the shows at each opening will be of an artist who I will represent on an on-going basis. Generally, this show will have a catalog and will be scheduled 1.5 to 2.5 years in advance. Most other shows will usually be specific to a body of work or a tight concept and will usually be scheduled 3 to 9 months in advance. And then I will have shows that open without openings and might be scheduled as little in advance as a month, a week, or a day.<br /><br />I'm always interested in knowing what you'd like to see.<br /><br /></span>William Bustahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07818272274441144530noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7215780734002003392.post-33034166747081726822010-10-14T14:38:00.000-07:002010-10-14T15:05:41.618-07:00Thursday before the Opening<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbdpaRaiYpzUZBJULF0mb87UPLmc6elJ6dbFbrSvY5OvTPXX40PijqHWzI1Be_cXxMf-HiwFlSTcYnxkwnUIr7EEsh9vttlqfyw5o8-cS0u7_9V5OyCZgfpIWEpDbf_lKKwflr5zj0_bA/s1600/sample14.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 378px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbdpaRaiYpzUZBJULF0mb87UPLmc6elJ6dbFbrSvY5OvTPXX40PijqHWzI1Be_cXxMf-HiwFlSTcYnxkwnUIr7EEsh9vttlqfyw5o8-cS0u7_9V5OyCZgfpIWEpDbf_lKKwflr5zj0_bA/s400/sample14.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5528021956136598818" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Timothy Callaghan, </span><span style="font-style: italic; font-family: verdana;">Nighthawk</span><span style="font-family: verdana;">, 2010; gouache on black paper, 11.5 x 11 in.</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">Timothy told me that he did not want his </span><span style="font-style: italic; font-family: verdana;">Nightshift</span><span style="font-family: verdana;"> paintings to look like "black holes" on the wall.

I am still imagining the new gallery - how the spaces will relate to each other; how multiple exhibitions will feel as they slide over and under each other; whether installation, video and performance will fit; and how people will learn about and interact with the exhibitions.<br /><br />I have lots of ideas - as usual, some good and some bad - and I happily anticipate the time when the gallery can give them voice.<br /><br /></span>William Bustahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07818272274441144530noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7215780734002003392.post-43169673317666630172010-10-13T09:36:00.001-07:002010-10-13T09:44:26.278-07:00Wednesday Before the OpeningAs usual, the gallery is a little bit of a mess between shows. <br /><br />Installed 4 ceramic pieces by Kristen Cliffel in the entry gallery, including the banner "Tell Me that You Love Me" (which hangs on the wall behind my desk, above where I am usually sitting and working).<br /><br />The construction and fix-up for gallery expansion is proceeding according to schedule, which is a little bit surprising. By the end of the day the floors will be sanded, with staining on Thursday and Friday, then varnishing on Monday and Tuesday of next week.<br /><br />Timothy Callaghan's show is partially up. We installed the seven paintings on canvas yesterday. They are nocturnal views of Cleveland neighborhoods, places that the artist passes through each day. I am trying to decide how to light them. Not too much, I think.William Bustahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07818272274441144530noreply@blogger.com0
