The Museum of Modern Art, New York and Me

Sometimes social media surfaces gold. I wanted feedback on a new online gallery software platform I have been showcased coming out of Germany. I wasn't certain whether I liked it and how viewers on social media might. So I asked the question on LInkedin.

Wow - the second comment I received came from the Museum Educator at MOMA, New York. Yep that is correct the Museum of Modern Art, New York and here is what she said..

"Your artwork is gorgeous, intriguing with you providing a healthy and engaging background for the inspiration of your pieces. As I delved into this digital exhibition, I was most intrigued with the platform. A unique software, indeed. But tickling, kneeding at my curiosity, especially as an artist, was how does this compare to the actual works. I was prompted to explore you more thoroughly online. And, oh my!...I was far, far more impressed with your art on your Facebook page featuring your short video displaying works in home settings. It provided a far more authentic view of the depths, size and energy of your work. In that digital exhibition space, the full depth of your artistry is lost serving as a disservice if first seen/only viewed in that space. I believe something is lost in the digitizing of your work in that digitized background. I am far more impressed with visual presentations in your short film.

And please know, I am very aware of the art world's current journey to create exhibition software reflective of that physical experience. All in our industry are finding our way as we shift digitally.

I love your work, your inspiration and the storytelling behind your pieces."

Geez, you should have seen the smile emerging and pealing across my face as I read this.
