TT: Preview of coming attractions

I just did something new: I wrote my very first introduction to the catalogue of a art exhibition.
William Bailey, whose Piazza Rotunda is part of the Teachout Museum, has a one-man show coming up at Betty Cuningham Gallery, and Betty called me up from out of the blue to ask if I’d write about him for the catalogue. Naturally I said yes, though not without a certain amount of apprehension, since I’d never written such a piece. I went down to the gallery a few weeks ago to see Bailey’s latest paintings, and last Monday I sat down and knocked out the introduction, which I called “Art of the Unreal,” in a single sitting. It’s not bad, if I do say so myself.
The show goes up on October 18. Come take a look–and buy a catalogue while you’re there!
