From the Chairman
Artists Talk On Art returns to its same venue at the Soho 20 Chelsea Gallery, 547 West 27th Street, 3rd floor, for the winter/spring season of panels with a smaller run of panels as it addresses a tighter economy and reviews its options and makes plans for its 2011-2012 season. The season is somewhat shorter, commencing on Thursday, February 24th. Rather than every week, panels are scattered over a shorter period, so watch this page or see our e-mail promotions -- give us your e-mail if you don't currently receive those blasts -- for exact details. What the panels may lack in numbers, they make up for in quality and interest to artists and the public. The series begins with a look at the state of the famous "20 X 24 Studio" run by John Reuter who bought the resources of the studio and the rights to continue to manufacture the 20 X 24 instant film stock, even after Polaroid ceased to produce it. With that, Reuter is carrying on a proud tradition, which saw many world-class artists using the Manhattan-based Studio over a quarter century, including Chuck Close, Andy Warhol, Lucas Samaris, Ansel Adams, Annie Liebowitz, William Wegman and many others. He took over the Studio in 1980, after it had already made its fame, photographing a celebrity "A" list that has included Michael Jackson and Martha Stewart. World class artists Ellen Carey, and Mary Ellen Mark will appear, show their 20 X 24 work and answer question from Reuter and the audience. Other panels include a look at the building in which the gallery (Soho 20) is located and featuring other galleries as well ~ called "Portrait of a Building" on March 17th, moderated by Jenn Dierdorf, director Soho 20 and focusing on how those galleries are surviving, even thriving during the recent economic downturn and seeing the road ahead in its latest nascent revival. Other represented galleries include: Flomenhaft, Ceres and Sundaram Tagore. Directors of all galleries will appear and share their experiences, talk about their artists, their audiences and their techniques that have helped them move forward. If you're an artist you'll relish the opportunity to get five directors in one room. On March 24th, another panel, looks at how artists or their heirs can make sure that their work lives on and has a place to go to. Called "Establishing Your Legacy, Making Sure Your Art Lives On," Moderated by artist/professor Daria Dorosh, PhD of FIT, the panel includes Herbert Nass, trust and estate attorney, Doug Sheer, chairman of Artists Talk On Art and Adam Cohen, director of the Art Adoption Program.
