Opening Reception!

Thank you to all of you who attended the opening reception for This Collective Pull : A Mass Collaboration! We had a wonderful turnout at the reception, received a lot of great feedback, and made a lot of new friends. The work looked great in the space, and Bea has been back a few times since to see the show sans-crowd and to show the exhibit to a few who were un-able to make the opening. While hanging the show it was really wonderful to see the connections between pieces that we didn't see while sorting through the submissions. We also began to see connections that the pieces made with the actual gallery space. We are both so pleased to see the growth of this curatorial project from the first installation (and the second!) Below are a few photos from the evening, with more to follow!

We will be posting a more thorough documentation of the exhibit soon. The work will be up until February 28th. If you would like to view the exhibit please contact Bea at this.collective.pull@gmail.com to set up an appointment! More photos to come, and thank you again to all of the artists who contributed to make this the best installment yet!
