Chicago Exhibition

[Alexandra Tyng]

Kim, this is SO exciting! I wish I could just hop on a plane and go! Yes, please give us a full report of the opening, and take pictures or have someone take them for you if you are anything like me (forgetful). Congratulations!!!!!

Thank you Carol, Linda & Alex!

Ive never been to Chicago and will be attending the opening - should be fun. Im hearing that there will be dinners (I think I heard the word 'art critic' but I dont want to say for sure, this gallery owner talks SO fast and flips from subject to subject quickly) and Bently executives there and other promotional things. I will try and get photos - but Im not bringing anyone (kids are home for the summer, so all available adults will be babysitting) and so far I havent figured out anyone I know in that area.

I suppose it would be tacky if someone is talking to me about a painting and I whip out my camera?

I don't think so much. I think everyone understands these days that you want some record of the event. I'd do a bunch of picture taking before I introduced myself to anyone.

Or, you could seduce some twelve year old in the crowd to take about 50 shots of you mingling near your paintings. Just make sure they don't go running off down Lake Dr. with your camera.

Hi Kim,

This is great news and I wish you wonderful success with the show.
If I lived any where close to Chicago I would come and be the photographer for the evening. Mike's idea is a good one and I am sure people won't mind having their photo taken, especially if you offer to send them a copy via Email.

Thanks Enzie!

My Rebel is just too big to carry around an opening, but perhaps I could get one of those tiny disposable things to discreetly carry.

Im sure the gallery will be taking photos as well, so I imagine I can nab some of theirs.

What a great coup, Kim!

I just checked out their website and this looks like a serious, major gallery, especially if they've been in business 30 years. Good for you!

We definitely want to see pictures from the opening. Bring your camera and there will be people you can ask (gallery assistants, bystanders) to take pictures of you with the work.

Can you post some of the pieces you'll be showing in the forum nudes section?

Thanks Michele!

Ok, will do, I will post mine and the 2 small images I have that are examples of the other 2 women's work.
