Susan Collis: Why did I think this was a good idea

Lora Reynolds Gallery
October 4 – November 15, 2008
Opening Reception, Saturday, October 4, 6-8 pm; artist talk at 7 pm

Lora Reynolds Gallery is pleased to announce our first solo exhibition by British artist Susan Collis. Why did I think this was a good idea will be the first exhibition in our new space, and is, in many ways, engaged with the transition of spaces.

Collis’ pieces disguise themselves as ordinary tools used for constructing, cleaning and hanging an art exhibition. As such, at first glance the exhibition might lead viewers to believe the gallery is still under construction. Further investigation of the space however will reward the viewer, leading him/her toward Collis’ notions of hidden labor, within a complex network of contradictions and revelations.
