I came upon your website as I was researching the work of Ethel and Greta Ogden and porcelain painting in Saint John in the 1880s.
I wonder if you have any web-based or library resources you could refer me to on either these artists or on porcelain painting at the turn of the last century?
Also would you know of anyone who could speak to the value of work by Ethel or Greta Odgen?
Thank you for your time and if you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me either by email or by phone at xxx-xxx-xxxx

When I saw your website, I flashed back to my comment that I wasn’t interested in institutional critique and more concerned with having a conversation, this might be the kind of work that I had in mind. Your work is clearly asking questions about power relations and thinking about how the institutions of history shapes our relationship to public space and memory in the present day. However, your mode of operation is open to serendipity and happenstance, and all the things that might happen as you come into contact with people who become curious about what you are doing as you paint the pictures ‘en plein aire’ and discover you are working from a catalog.
Ultimately my issue with institutional critique (at least in its historical phase) is that its idealist character often lead to foregone conclusions and (only in the most interesting work) were they inflected by the encounter with the institutions and the people who work there. In a sense my “Archives and the everyday” project was founded on seeing what could happen if we approached this issue from the point of view of having a conversation and not rendering a judgment (though judgments were of course peppered throughout the conversations…)
For some time now it has seemed to me that as useful as the critique of the ‘white cube’ was historically, by my generation it became more of a shorthand excuse to dismiss something without looking at it, or to willfully ignore the role of individuals in shaping the limits and possibilities of institutions themselves. Whereas the emotional heart of your project seems to lie somewhere in the region of the equation economy≠exchange and the encounters you have play this out in all kinds of different ways.
Best regards,

What a great concept! I really like this project and am also happy to have met you last Sunday. Isn’t it great to actually meet the people working outside the box?
Propagating beauty is alright by me. Good stories, touching on all the burning questions. It’s not super corrosive, but quite effective i think and the pictures are great. If i knew how to whistle on my keyboard, i’d squeal loudly.
