First Post

As someone who has always been a little bit reluctant to write on this personal website, I would like to start with a post that pays tribute to American painter Rosy Keyser's book My Heads Are My Hands (Karma, 2014).

The book, which is a non-traditional exhibition catalog of the artist's 2014 solo exhibition at the Karma gallery in New York, is composed of random images of sketches, smartphone snapshots, and of other sources, as well as excerpts from a little book published in the 19th Century instructing travelers to the American West how to build a shelter from scratch. Through the excerpt and all the creative "materials," the artist build a analogy between building a shelter and creating a painting.

Curating a show or (conceptually) building an exhibition, is also similar to making shelters. Isn't it?
