At our last meeting, we discussing creating a proposal for the New Art Center in Newton. We brainstormed a few ideas. It seems like a selective process, but might yield a project we could shop around elsewhere. In looking at past exhibits, there are plenty of loose theme-based exhibits, but we could also go with a different approach.
See the criteria here. The deadline is April 8, 2009.
A few ideas...
1. "Surface"- or some kind of broad theme that connects us as 2d artists. We could make it more conceptually/ intellectually interesting by framing it with a quote... See this Marian Goodman exhibit.
2. "Teacher/Student" - an exhibition that features each of us as educators/artists. We exhibit one of our works and one by a student. It includes each of us without imposing a stylistic theme. It also has the benefit of being educational in its purpose.
Possible issues:
- Is it ok for it to be all 2d? Do we want to ask anyone else?
- How do we decide on the student work? Should it be stylistically linked to ours?
- Should we include text or some kind of personal statement about the connection between making art and teaching?
- A catchy title?
3. "Objects"- choose a certain number of objects and have each of us create a work that contains them in one form or another. See the "Object Project".

I think that the teacher student idea has great merit. I think that it is the avenue that we should explore. Just my opinion though.
