hi everyone! i am so happy to announce that my physical gallery that only lives online, Deep Space, is up and running after a year-long hiatus with a show titled: Flattened Flat, Here, Be-ing Us, opening on Monday by Suji Han. @sujihan.art - Thank you Suji for creating such a wonderful show that asks us what online and digital spaces mean and how they function affectively. — www.deepspace.place for Deep Space as a whole: i have made a few changes to the format - one, there is no format, so artists get to design the page however they want. previously, i was having them submit an artist statement and a bio and follow a general website design. i reasoned that this was because of a need for “consistency” and “ease of use” of the website, but i think it was more about me having a hard time letting go of control. second, the shows will be three months long each, which means that the space will have 4 shows a year. third, i am trying to get together funds to pay each artist an honorarium of $200 dollars for putting together a show. i know this is not a lot, but i hope that it can be a token of my gratitude for the people who are making work for the space (suji did not get $200 but i did offer her half of my storage closet in our RISD building, and isn’t that love, too??). — i realized that the year that deep space was up and running, the four artists who dropped out last minute were the most marginalized (black folks, new moms, etc), and it made me rethink how i was running the space. i really hope letting go of a lot of an “approval process”, giving ppl full control of their page, and giving money will remove some of these issues of inequity around a space that, even if it doesn’t ask for physical labor in the form of physical pieces (let’s discuss what “physical” means in a later post), is asking for a lot of intellectual labor. and the labor of typing and being on the computer, which is so much sometimes (which is why i have a hard time promo’ing these shows despite asking artists to do the labor of making them - so many thoughts!) — anyway, hope y’all like the show. i’ll put the link in my bio and post again on monday.
