In dieser Angelegenheit

In this issue, we take a look at how the presentation of a work has enormous weight on
how it is perceived. In Daniel Grant’s “The Rise and Fall of 5Pointz,” the battle between
a building owner and the “aerosol artists” who have been decorating the neglected real estate is chronicled. Does tagging a building, setting up a person as its curator, and then forming a nonprofit corporation elevate it to museum status? You be the judge.
We also celebrate the eye-catching ways that artists, curators, shop owners, and promoters
display the work that they have created or are entrusted to sell. In our Crafts Scene pictorial essay, we present a myriad of ways that heartfelt artwork has been exhibited
to touch collectors. Making art is a personal leap of faith; selling it is very often a
team effort. You have to strike the right chord with a potential retailer and/or interested
collector. Showcasing your finished work in its best possible light is the final step in
making your visions a desirable reality.
Here’s hoping you are inspired to step into the spotlight, show off your dreams,and shine!
