Week 6, Day 034 ANNOTATED CATALOGUE

I promised the galleries that I would send them an ‘ANNOTATED CATALOGUE” for display and reference to BED, BREAKFAST & BELIEF. Then I had to discover if I was using the adjective correctly. I know ‘annotated’ is usually used in conjunction with a bibliography but I am not completely sure if it can apply this way to a catalogue…augmenting the images of an exhibition. Anyway, I dutifully constructed a catalogue with artist’s comments beside small images of the work. This takes the place of a general artist’s statement and is in keeping with my idea of opening a dialogue with viewers. I am feeding viewers ideas resulting from the art – not to dictate a certain meaning but to give a leg into my thinking behind it. Some people will agree with me, others will take issue, many will simply read with interest. All these are good results.
