Best yet

Post by Artguy » October 10th, 2005, 9:09 pm

I have in the last 30 years been rejected by the best and the worst galleries in Canada, and a few in the U.S. too, but this rejection was the best I have ever received...

Dear Kurt:
I very much appreciate porposals such as yours as a valuable way of staying
informed about current work. It was really wonderful to learn about your
practice. Thank you for considering Oakville Galleries.

I regret very much to say, we cannot consider scheduling an exhibition of
your work at this time. We have developed our exhibition programming until
the end of 2007 on a continuity of projects whereby the dialogue of one
exhibition overlaps with another, so that work isn't read in isolation. I
just couldn't make a good fit for your work in the way that our programming
is developing.

I hope that you will have the opportunity to visit our Galleries very soon
and wish you the very best for your work.

Sincerely,
Marnie Fleming

one exhibition dialogues with another? In whose opinion? Whose the scriptwriter?

she speak newspeak
when you go visit, bring a tape recorder (and ear plugs, one presumes - they don't speak your speak)

I wanted my work read
in dialog with other's or others'
(not in isolation)
so I wouldn't be lonely or alone
while I talked to myself.

But I want my work read
with white whine dialog (not red whine;
the dialog ought match
the flavors I serve). My newfound concern:
who do I isolate

to rid isolation
from free dialog I hope to foster;
with whom to overlap;
with whom to share perfectly selected
whine; with whose complement?

Ok I admit it is high praise but don't let it go to head.

Group minds are tough to crack, they have a private language, they think it is a secrete code. All we can do is jamm it.
