Update: Final Show

Securing a space hasn’t been easy. Today, finally I got an email from Tiffany over at Dacra. Craig Robins (the entrepreneur) was kind enough to find a space over at the Buena Vista Building (the building where Carlos de Villasante had his last show). Room #216 is a small but nice space on the second floor. There’s a problem: Because we’re so close to Art Basel, the artists are still dismantling their work. I’ve been told that we may work in the space on --the latest-- Saturday. If that’s the case, we’ll go there Sunday noon and mount our show for that evening. If not, it would have to be on Monday. Not optimal, but it’s the best I can do now. Getting a room at UM has been impossible, even though I’ve sent emails to numerous people, including the Department Chair. They know (for the past six years) that this one-night event is a crucial component in my ART 106 class. Yes, I’m pissed off.
