Proposals

The Re Institute is interested in considering proposals from curators and artists.

The present goal of this exhibition space is to allow artists to understand their work in new ways. Each artist will need to find their own unique way of using the space. Since 2009 artists have found ways to interact with their work and the work of other artists. The possible outcomes are numerous.

The barn is quite large. It was designed to be worked with. It is quite reverential to the art it has shown. The lighting is simple but effective. The grounds are extensive. There are many additional outbuildings that can accommodate work. There is a large wall for video projections. The number of artists per show can be from 1 to 100. The preference is for about 3 people per show.

I look at work in December and January. The gallery takes a 50% commission. The emphasis is not on selling work. Most of the audience comes for the opening. We always have a potluck at the opening. The gallery is located about 100 miles from New York City in a very underpopulated rural location. As the primary participant with the work, I hope to learn as the exhibition unfolds. Shows run from 4 to 8 weeks. There is a 6 day turn around between most shows. But this, like everything else, is flexible to the artist's needs.

The hope is that the people who come to these shows will be participants with the work and not just visitors-spectators. The artist has some responsibility to help the participant enter their work.
