it's in the details.

Check out plenty of images that feature detail shots of many of the works in Cutting Edge- all I can say is gorgeous.

See them here.

Cutting Edge in its glory.

See images of the installation of Cutting Edge over at my curatorial blog here.
As you can get a sense the show has some incredibly gorgeous work... and every single piece & artist will get a feature in the upcoming weeks- so you have a lot to look forward to.

See some mentions and more pictures of the exhibit here and here.

If you attended and have pictures please share them with me.

opening night...

Sorry about the lack of post yesterday. I know you are all waiting on the edge of your seat to see images from the opening of Cutting Edge- right? But alas we had some internet issues yesterday but I AM BACK and...

The opening was in short amazing!!! We had a huge turnout. The space is quite large and was packed, I mean packed, the entire night so I would guess that we had at least 400 people but most likely quite a bit more. The band was fabulous, the crowd awesome, the food looked fab, the raffle prizes so cool, and the space looked incredible.

I was honored that so many people came out to the exhibit, many of the artists traveling far and wide to be there. So check out more images of the crowd over here. And tomorrow I promise some nice clean install shots so you can see the overall exhibit and then some detailed shots of the GORGEOUS work in the show.

Tonight, tonight, tonight!!!!!

install mania is beginning.

Agh, after a being a bridesmaid in a whirlwind weekend of a wonderful friends gorgeous wedding I am preparing to go crazy installing over the next 2 days. There is a ton of work in the show and a few pieces are HUGE so I am a little nervous and stressed.
But I always get this way before the installation of an exhibit that I have curated, more so then my own solo shows. I just sincerely want all the artists involved to be so happy with it. I know that it will come together and am excited to meet many artists tomorrow as a handful are coming to install their own piece, yay.

But the nerves have begun.... Cannot wait to show yo some install pictures tomorrow.
