Yep! I’m curating a show in Washington DC this March. Oh my word – I’m curating a show in Washington DC this March!?<\/em> Seriously, I could not be more thrilled, and wanted to make sure I was keeping all of you in the loop! So, here it goes, the first post in a new series… I’ll try and keep it short ; )<\/p>\n

This fall I was contacted by the Honfleur Gallery<\/a> in Washington DC. They asked if I’d be interested in curating a show in their 2011 schedule… umm… YES! Ok great, that was taken care of, now I just had to come up with something. After a week of brainstorming like a maniac, I ended up submitting three ideas – the first one was a solo show, and the other two were group shows. Now, I have to admit, I loved all of the ideas, but was so excited when they picked the solo show featuring Canadian artist, Ben Skinner<\/a>. Not only do I love his work {he was one of the first<\/a> people I ever wrote about, and last summer, I bought one<\/a> of his pieces at The Cheaper Show<\/a><\/em>}<\/em>, but his portfolio is filled with work that speaks directly to the issues that are affecting Anacostia<\/a>, the neighborhood that the gallery calls home. Ben is currently working away on a whole bunch<\/em> of fantastic pieces. Some of the work featured above is similar to the new pieces he’s creating, along with installations, a text-based mural, and site-specific pieces in the neighborhood around the gallery. It’s gonna be amazing! Anywho, that’s all for now, but I’ll be sure to give you a sneak-peek as the work progresses!<\/p>\n

{The show opens on March 4th 2011 and runs until April 8th. Wish us luck, and I hope all of you can come!}<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
