Preparing to Visit the Galleries

this thursday we'll be visiting galleries in the south end. please spend some time looking at the websites forcarroll and sons, inc. galleryoh&t gallerysamson projectssteven zevitas galleryhoward yezerski gallery, and boston sculptors gallery. (the name of each gallery is the link)

we'll be starting together at carroll and sons, inc. where joseph carroll, the director of the gallery, will speak to us briefly. please prepare at least one question you'd like to ask him (refer to the interview you read last week with him and his website for ideas) and post it to your blog.

~~~ With such a strong sense of what art you like, are you ever tempted to make your own work? How separate are the careers of being a gallery director and being an artist?

as well, after looking through the websites of the galleries above, select two that will be a priority for you to visit while we're there. please explain why you select the galleries you do.

~~~I want to go to the "OHT Gallery" to see the "Back to Front" exhibit. The Gallery is described as "contemporary art in all media," shows a variety of artists, and looks like a bright, playful, and diverse show. 
~~~The Howard Yezerski Gallery is showing Jowhara AlSaud and Curtis Mann. Their work looks very interesting. They are both nontraditional photographers. They alter the paper or the film or the image. AlSaud is a woman from Saudi Arabia, and her work comments on the censorship there. Mann alters the landscapes of conflict in areas like Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, and Iraq.
