Distinctive Directions

January 12, 2008 at 7:00 pm

I’ve mentioned a few times I was curating a show at the Lux Center for the Arts in Lincoln, Nebraska.

Early in 2007 I contacted 4 artists who’s artwork I admire (Deidre Adams, Pam Rubert, Joanie San Chirico and Jeanne Williamson) and asked them if they would like to look for venues to show our work together. I already had a solo show at Lux schedule for 2008 and a few weeks after I contact these artists, I was asked to curate a show in conjunction with my solo show, tada, instant show. Interesting how things tend to happen like this.

Today I picked the work for the curated show. I printed out the available work and cut walls to size and played around until I found a layout that would work. It was pretty fun to play around.

In addition I’ve been working on a website for this show the last month and it’s now ready to unveil: distinctive-directions.com. The website includes a blog that all of us will be participating in so check that out also: distinctive directions blog. Today’s post is a short introduction to the artists in the show.

Here are the mock ups for the show:

My work for the solo show, Fencing In or Keeping Out, will go into the corner that is empty. It will be all new work from my Structures series.

    Congratulations on both shows! I love how you’ve created a mock- up of the gallery space.

    I love how you did this–I love the way your mind works! So creative yet so organized, too. You’re living proof we really do work better when we can access both sides of our brain. ;-)

    I too like how you did the mock up and the website is really crisp and nice.
    Congrats on the shows.

    Hi Lisa – this looks fantastic. Congratulations on being selected to curate the exhibition. I have family in Lincoln and visit there often — and I’m a huge fan of Deirdre Adams’s work (as well as yours)– perhaps I too will make the drive from Colorado to see this show, maybe even for the opening. Best of luck with all the preparations.
