Victoria Haven, subject of the previous post, is a member of a large family – artists interested in grids inspired and/or undermined by the organic, the decorative, the home crafts (like quilts) and the musical. If I could play the piano, I’d use Haven’s work as sheet music.
A group show on this theme would be nice. Here’s a start on whom I’d put in it, besides, of course, Haven. Click images to enlarge.
(Left to right)
First row: Chauney Peck, Emily Pothast, Harold Hollingsworth and Jen Liu
Second row: Martin Puryear, Peter Millett, Eric Eley and Noah Grussgott
Thanks for the shout out and this idea for a group show, that I for one would be honored to participate in!
Well, whats stopping you?
Now that you are a regular citizen, and not restricted by company rules, imaginary codes of proper journalistic conduct, or conflict of interest issues, why dont you curate a show or two?
Like most other things newspaper, the idea of a “critic’s role” at the PI was stuck in the 19th century, but now, you are a free woman- you can write whatever you want, for whoever you want, take or refuse any form of payment, eat dinner with anybody you want, and, yes, curate shows.
Instead of looking thru the window at the candy, there is nothing stopping you now from walking right in the store and rearranging the displays.
