While Rochester and most of Vermont escaped Hurricane Sandy unharmed, we feel for our gallery community to the south, and especially for one or two of our gallery artists and friends who have been especially affected.
The Art Dealers Association of America has compiled a list of resources for those in the arts community who are facing devastating loss. You can view their website
here.
Cerf+ (Craft Emergency Relief Fund and Artists Emergency Resources) also has
information on disaster relief for artists.
Please share this information and help an artist today.
A
New York Times article describing the breadth of the damage to the gallery community in New York City can be read
here.
W. David Powell assembled this collage the day following Sandy, from artwork already waiting for him on his desk.
Last week we sent out an image of Peter Kirkiles' Ochre Rule No. 26 as a Halloween greeting, but the piece is meant to respond to a situation just like Sandy. How do you measure enormity?
Another artist trying to make visually clear what is conceptually abstract is Eve Mosher, whose project tracing the 100 year flood high water mark around Brooklyn in 2007 is described in a
New Yorker article by Elizabeth Kolbert
here.
