James Cope at the Goss Michael Foundation posted this awesome article about gallery assistants on his blog. I can't claim to have found a private jet in one hour or flown an ice cube halfway around the world, but the gist of the diversity inherent in the job is fully spelled out. Along with the usual hustle and bustle of this week, a large priority of mine was ridding the gallery of a small fruit fly infestation. My current technique is red wine vinegar with dish soap so the flies sink and drown when they go for a drink. Another photograph sold, and the director for CADD ArtLab came in to select works for her next exhibition, but I was worried about discreet pest control everytime someone stepped foot in the space. Hopefully, this weekend's traps will curtail the problem. In other news, I predict Barry Whistler will be back at the gallery sometime next week! It might be brief, but he's determined to get there. Tomorrow will be exactly 3 weeks from his surgery.
