Times are rough when it comes to art sales. But the prospect of running a gallery at anytime is a bizarre endeavor. Why would someone want to do that? I understand if you happen to be sorta wealthy or can afford to even buy the art you sell (that would be a "no", and another "no" for me). But why else? There are all the political networking, contact making and social climbing aspects that some may find attractive but I could give a shit about that. So why run a gallery?
I have no idea really. Maybe there just isn't anything else I am qualified for. I read pretty well, make a good pizza, am pretty good on road trips and so on. But it seems that my facinating resume of various useless skills are not attractive to employers. At least not after they meet me. I actually get a pretty high percentage of interviews when I forward my resume and a really low percentage of offers. Maybe it is the fact that I won't be challenged by the fascinating details of the task at hand, or intellectually fulfilled or just generally have an attitude, none of which I can really argue with.
So, until further notice fluxco is happening. A couple more shows are shaping up, one for May 30th, the other for June 12th. More updates will follow as I uncover the facts. And for all you curators out there, forward me a proposal for a group show if you are interested in art for art's sake.
