Laurie Zuckerman is working furiously on new artwork for her upcoming solo exhibition at the Loveland Art Museum in Northern Colorado. I am working on altar installations, memory jugs, memory boxes, and shrine photography, most of which has never been exhibited before or in Northern Colorado. Almost all of the three-dimensional assemblages have been created to memorialize each of my deceased parents, Blanche and George Zuckerman. The show is entitled Memento Mori: The Deconstruction of the Nuclear Family.
It'll take me two weeks just to set up the show, as the gallery is nearly 4000 square feet. That kind of space holds a lot of altars. The museum curator and her new exhibits curator are coming to my studio at the end of this month to finalize the construction details for the exhibition. I have everything laid out on a floor plan for them to review, although I keep erasing things and shuffling them around.
The opening reception is set for Saturday, August 29, 2009 from 6-9 pm. The show closes on The Day of the Dead—November 2, 2009. I have friends and family flying in from around the country. Loveland is only a few stunning miles up the Big Thompson Canyon to Estes Park and the Rocky Mountain National Park.
