And so it begins…

In the whirlwind of two big press previews, I’ve not had a chance to post any news.  Suffice it to say that we had our NYC debut and it was brilliant.  From Jason Kaufman of The Art Newspaper to Megan Shank of Newsweek we had a  terrific turn out of journalists.  Our PR team – Norris Communications (Wendy Norris and Liam Passmore) are worth their weight in gold.  Now, however, the work really begins as we parse stories and hustle to match them with publications and press.  Hopefully, what this means is that you’ll start seeing stories about the upcoming Biennial now only 6 months away.
