I accidentally forgot to document my final week on this blogspace, but I think my absence says it all. My final week was a bit hectic (work, gallery openings, press previews, fitting in as many trips to the doughnut plant as possible), I was finally caught up in the full bustle of the city that I forgot that my staying here was only temporary.
Nancy and I were extremely productive in the studio. The seeds we spent the winter researching were finally planted, we transformed her space by installing what might possibly be the world's largest mood board, and Nancy dove right in to various movement / miming exercises. Needless to say, the final week was very physical and it prepared / excited me for returning to my own studio space back in Vermont.
And at the gallery, I finally felt as though I pulled things together-- new skills for navigating the various systems used, knowledge about the represented artists and current shows, and general familiarity with the area I was working. I built upon the art-handling and administrative skills I have acquired at my previous gallery internships, but also learned a whole new skill set working within a gallery of this caliber. Working the front desk has been a real pleasure in terms of being able to have a lot of face time with various individuals from artists to collectors to tourists.
Xx,
