Tara mentioned it before, but we are now in the full throws of turn-around time and it’s an emotional sight to see! I too enjoy this time of year and all the perks that come with it, most important being allowed to dress casually, but along with jeans and sneakers comes the heartbreak of letting go of the exhibition that everyone lived for the past 5 months.
Leveled was the first exhibition I had seen in its entirety, from start to finish, while working here at the Museum; and it was also
Tara’s first exhibition as Curator here-- so there is a lot of separation anxiety going on in the museum admin offices! But, alas,
Leveled had an amazing run and we are looking forward to the upcoming Patricia Patterson exhibition and all the other promising shows we are already working on for the future. I would like to formally say “Goodbye” to
Leveled and “Congratulations” to its artists and Curator for such a touching exhibition. For all you old-schooler’s who came to
Leveled looking for traditional paintings but were instead met by a mysterious fort and some oversized vegetables, NEVER FEAR! We have some beautiful, colorful pieces coming your way.
Here are a couple more photos of Leveled getting stripped. Enjoy. . . or be sad about it, like me.

Look at all the knowledge that was housed in Wes' fort!?
The Fort's guts. Most of its insides now out in the hallway.
Detail from Doris' installation. I think "HEART" is a good word to sum up the show.
