Curatorial Smackdown II

Curatorial Smackdown II
Action starts July 26, 2010. Exhibition on view at Gallery Lambton until August 21, 2010

Day 4-Visual Re-Cap

The day began with lots of potential and at the end of the day we weren't disappointed. All contenders had the opportunity to choose from the painting racks, adding another dimension to the exhibition which, at the end of Round 1, was primarily drawings and prints.

The space is taking on an entirely new feel and sense of meaning.

Shelly re-framed the Boyle print (seen above on the floor) and the piece looks considerably better in an appropriate sized frame. A decision was made to put off hanging it right away. The placement will either require a re-shuffling of the entire wall to balance it out or, if someone selects a small piece, it may fit nicely to the right of the Boyle. We'll wait and save the need to patch holes!


In fact, there's not a lot of room left for the remaining 6 works that still have to be added to the space.

Perhaps Day 5 will require a bit of fancy foot work from all contenders!
