A GardenShip Slide Show in the Windows of CATF at Museum London:

Following the panel discussion, and running all night Nov. 21 and 22, in the giant windows of Museum London’s Centre at the Forks, overlooking the Thames River/Deshkan Ziibing, a spectacular slide and video show gave visual evidence of our exhibition in the making. The slide show featured two images or videos by each of 17 artists/makers. Some showed works-in-progress, while others indicated the connection between the larger practice of the artist and the specific themes of GardenShip and State.
