This post was meant to be uploaded while ago,,,,, Please pardon me for my tardiness.
Opening of "Strange Country" went very well. As a matter of fact, it was AWESOME.
It was pouring outside, but so many people showed up. I can not thank enough for all the people who came to see and support our show. And needless to say, Nicole from The Fields was such a gracious hostess. This exhibition couldn't happen without her.
One of important lessons I learned through this journey of "curating an exhibition" is there are WAY more people involved than artists and curator.
You can easily imagine that there will be someone to install the show. Then marketing, logistics, legal, etc.... Because of the size of production, I got to do pretty much everything, but Nicole was there to help me marketing, catering, and some of the logistics.
She has been very patient with me from the day one. I, as a rookie curator, had no clue of what, when, how to do things. But people around me have been very helpful. I learned a lot because of them. To name a few, Meredith Lippman from Hudson County Office of Cultural & Heritage Affairs and Ben Goldman from City Without Walls.
My big Thanks to them!
This post is getting sort of pointless. I should wrap it up by saying this one thing.....
As with everything else, there is a limitation of things you can do by yourself. You need people to make things happen. I hope someday there will be someone who needs "me" to make something happen. For the day yet to come, I should train, learn, and do whatever I can do to make myself better.
