Well I finally figured out how to combine all the things I do, by myself, with others, in a cool setting.
The Amherst Street Museum Project (also on Facebook) started out as a spin off of the Hudson Street Museum in Rotterdam, Netherlands. I'd had a show there and while the Museum next door specialized in small exhibits, so small that you could only see them if you were standing on the sidewalk outside. No openings, but 24/7/365 access.
I loved the idea and decided to do one that was similar. Some of you know that I had a store front on Amherst Street in Buffalo which is now occupied by Delish! But I still liked the idea and needed a way to incorporate the various interests out there. So here we are on a blog, still available 24/7/365 on line, and in case we get a storefront, then it will be a version of the sidewalk idea. I'd envisioned having openings out on the sidewalk, just outside the show, with heat for the wintertime.
So in the meantime, I'm going online with a blog and will have several divisions for all the things that happen. For instance, yesterday I participated in the Day of Architecture in a small town south of Leiden, Netherlands. A nice long bike ride, Ludy Feyen, who is also online, had made a trilobyte out of willows and was growing green plants and food inside. This is a year project, and during the winter, it was covered over and had light tunnels to let light into the interior where she was growing cold tolerant plants.
There will be a lot of sections, and of course I'm open to ideas for shows, etc, the usual and unusual museum, gallery, art event kind of thing.
