post a response to the field trip.

don't forget to post a response to last week's field trip.

preparing to visit the galleries.

this thursday we'll be visiting galleries in the south end. please spend some time looking at the websites for carroll and sons, inc. gallery, oh&t gallery, samson projects, steven zevitas gallery, howard yezerski gallery, and boston sculptors gallery. (the name of each gallery is the link)

we'll be starting together at carroll and sons, inc. where joseph carroll, the director of the gallery, will speak to us briefly. please prepare at least one question you'd like to ask him (refer to the interview you read last week with him and his website for ideas) and post it to your blog.

as well, after looking through the websites of the galleries above, select two that will be a priority for you to visit while we're there. please explain why you select the galleries you do.

Articles about the "Boston art scene".

This week you're reading several articles (this one, this one, this one, and this one) in preparation for next week's field trip to the South End galleries. In response to what you've read describe the shift that has been occurring over the past year in the Boston gallery world. How do you think these changes might affect the Boston art world, in general (artists, collectors, museums, schools, etc.) for better or worse?
