Planet Jackson Hole did a cover article discussing the fate of the Teton Art Lab.
Henry Sweets wrote both of these articles. Henry has always taken an interest in what we are doing and often stops by to have a brew, sit on our colorful love seat and talk art. He sat down with me after the show to ask me a bit about my work, and wrote this article. Thanks Henry.
With Lab gone, there truly will be a void in our community. The Teton Art Lab instigated real valuable discourse between artists and the community. Travis, Lisa and Tristan created a space that immediately broke down the typical problems of access to space and closed door exclusiveness that so many galleries suffer from. So many galleries seem so disconnected, stark and lonely, in contrast The Lab seemed to be always full of life. It was great to have so many interesting people stopping by at odd hours of the night to chat and to have viewers and buyers come in and see us always at work and end up learning directly from the artists about process. Anyway, I could go on about the lab and I will. Stay tuned for a comprehensive photo essay.
