March 2020 is all about a 2019 Perspective

2019 was a fun year for me in the Art Curating world here in Portland OR – I had the wonderful experience of working with some truly amazing talent from all the world the US and from here in Portland.    Since several of the shows I curated were from all over the world, this meant art was shipped in.

Since the shows were up for 25 days, the art also went on Brassworks Gallery website for 4 to 6 months, depending on the show.  What that meant for me is that for any art that didn’t sell and wasn’t local, if the artist didn’t inquire to ask for it to be shipped back, it means I have some art in storage and eventually we do ship unsold art back once the show is off the website.

With that said, I was setting up all of my 2020 shows and had March to fill – I pondered doing a collective local group show then I considered a show that featured the images of OR, which could be a landscape or a painted city scene, anything that was a good visual of Oregon.  I really liked that idea but wanted more time to prepare for it so I decided to move that out to 2021 so I can give artists more time to prepare. 

This made reminded me of some of the amazing art I had at the studio storage loft on sight, I mean there are some amazing works of art, that I feel really could sell if promoted.  On that note, I thought, what the heck, why not a Brassworks 2019 Art Retrospective and I put on a show featuring all the art I have in the loft.

With that decided, I am curating two shows in March here in Portland OR – first is at Chaos Gallery where I am curating “Urban Surrealism” an in-depth look the of movement and the art of Gregory Hergert, this will be a retrospective of the Urban Surrealism book as well.  The show is hung from March 5^th which is the opening reception and closes April 25^th, I am excited about this because I am starting to venture out to curate into a different gallery.

The Brassworks 2019 Retrospective opens March 6^th at Brassworks Gallery and will features works from amazing artists from all over the world.  Watch for promotions and show details via Instagram, Facebook and my website so you can see which artists works I choose.   Sometimes reflecting can be a good thing.
