  • The “unique” Gallery

    Next exhibition will be a drawing installation. The Gallery at the Ann Felton Multicultural Center at Onondaga Community College has a unique floor plan, which has “T” shape. The entrance area, I call Main gallery, is about three 17 feet long walls, and one of the wings, called “Alcove gallery,” has two 16 feet long walls and one 8 feet wall. I am going to install 32 documentation photographs of the making of “threshold” in the two Alcove galleries, and a new drawing installation will be installed in the Main gallery.

  • 20110202 memo

    I supposed to update how I deinstalled my work at AC Institute. I was so exhausted not only by the deinstalling, but also the tremendous amount of snow and the shoveling… I hate snow shoveling.

    This week is the first week of both Stony Brook University and Suffolk County Community College. Yes, I am teaching. Also, I am working as a digital assistant for the art department at SBU. So, no time to sit down to write my “favorite” things in this blog this week.

    If you do twitter, please follow me @takafumiide. I will twitter more often than this web. Especially Japanese readers, you will find more comments in Japanese in my twitter.

  • Closing AC Institute exhibition

    Thank you for coming to my solo exhibition, “Takafumi Ide / Life is fleeting; therefore, life is beautiful,” at AC Institute.

    I was able to meet a lot of people who are not only art professionals, but also general audiences during the exhibition. As an emerging artist, it is important for me to talk to these visitors right now. Even only one comment on my work helps my next steps. Sometimes I get puzzled by a criticism, but still I think it helps my process to make art.

    Once an exhibition is closed, the art works need to be deinstalled.
    I will update the process of deinstalling this exhibition next.
