Its been a little over a month since the solo exhibit of my work as an iconographer opened at the Alaska State Museum in Juneau. For the past year or so I've been preoccupied with the (seemingly) endless details of putting together a retrospective exhibit of the work I've done as an iconographer over the past thirty-eight years. (Hence the neglect of this blog!)
It turned out not to be straightforward at all, especially for someone with so little experience with actually exhibiting my art work in a gallery, much less the state museum! It all came right in the end, thanks to the generosity of the churches and individuals that lent the museum work of mine that they own. Thank you!
Fortunately, two of the museum curators, Jackie Manning and Aaron Elmore, kindly guided me through the process and provided their invaluable (and much needed expertise!) in every aspect of mounting the exhibit. I'm grateful as well to Bob Banghart, the retired director of the state museum drew on his long experience as a curator to help me solve what appeared at the time to be several intractable problems.
Below is the link to a virtual tour of the exhibit. It is a slideshow that begins with my artist's statement and slides in order of the all of the pieces displayed in the exhibit. Each slide has a photograph of the artwork with the exhibit label next to it.
UPDATE
You may have experienced opening the video yesterday and today. However, the problem has been fixed and its now opening without any problems. Thank you to everyone who contacted me to let me know about this!
Charles, Thank you so much for posting this virtual tour which I could experience all the way from Texas. I really enjoyed seeing so much of your work and learning from the images/stories in your icons. What a gift your art is to the world!
