Randel Plowman, curator of the book Masters: Collage, organized a corresponding gallery show at the Northern Kentucky University’s gallery. Each artist featured in the book was invited to participate in this exhibition, and I’ll be showing four pieces. I’m sad that I can’t be in attendance, but Randel say’s he’ll get pictures of the event. I’ll post them up soon! If you’re in the area make sure you get by to see this incredible variety of work by contemporary collage artists.

Black Mountain College Museum (in nearby Asheville, NC) is hosting a show of Ray Johnson’s work. Not only will we have a chance to view the show, but it’s legit–we’re going to the opening!!! He’s my favorite artist. I feel like the luckiest girl in the world.
Details:
From BMC to NYC: The Tutelary Years of Ray Johnson (1943-1967)
February 19 – June 12, 2010
Opening reception: Friday, February 19, 6:00 – 8:00 p.m.
56 Broadway, Asheville, NC 28801
More about the show, quoted from the BMCM Site:
Through a carefully selected group of paintings, collages and early correspondence, From BMC to NYC: The Tutelary Years of Ray Johnson will explore the early transitions in Johnson’s career—in particular his graduation from high school in Detroit to his three years of serious study at Black Mountain College to his immersion in the Manhattan art scene of the 1950s and 1960s. From BMC to NYC, curated by writer and collage artist Sebastian Matthews, will trace a circle around roughly two decades of Johnson’s early art, creating a spotlight on his explosion from talented painter and master collagist to, by the 1960s, Grand Dean of Dada & Postal Art. The exhibition will provide an interactive, playful presentation of Johnson’s “tutelary” work, highlighting the people and places that influenced Johnson’s creations in order to give the viewer a roadmap of Johnson’s creative process.
