It’s the first day of my favorite time of year, Museum Turnaround. That’s our internal speak for ‘take the art down and put up new art’. The Museum is alive with action, noise, energy and anticipation… and I get to wear jeans and sneakers. One thing we are doing a little differently this time around is keeping our windows un-papered. Normally we bring out the butcher paper and cover our windows so that no one can see in and we keep the exhibition a secret until opening night. Well times are a changin and in lieu of our new engagement mission we will be keeping the windows uncovered for all those who walk by to peek in and watch a little of the installation process. If you are in the neighborhood come by and press your nose against the glass.
In advance I would like to thank the crew. You all have a lot of work ahead of you, and as always I am sure you will pull it off with flying colors!
