Hello lightning Tamers this is episode number 50. And in today’s podcast, recorded July 16, 2021 on the closing night for the Exhibition LIT: Light in Transmission, and I’ll be joined by Vicky A Clark to talk about her background as a independent curator, writer, and critic, as well as insights on the exhibition.
Like I mentioned the last episode I was excited to have a review about the exhibition.( while others have interviewed to promote the exhibition is fine) This give me insight on what people see and understand when I put the work and effort out there into the world. |
You might find it strange but coming into this exhibition I wasn’t really into it, I was overwhelmed by the pandemic and my financial positioning, and so only when we were installing the show did I find myself realizing how the message of this show has been transformed by the current circumstance, that in all this darkness, hope is written in light, and so as works started to be revealed it started to enjoy it more an more. And today, look back with a sense of accomplishment, something that I find very hard to do regardless of my endeavors, and Vicky reminds to take take notice.
