Shift Happens

July 13, 2012

It’s Friday the thirteenth, and I’ve the good fortune of announcing “Shift” as the title and theme of this year’s annual members’ exhibition at Station Gallery. Out of the gate, “Shift” was favored to win on an on-line poll posted a couple weeks ago, taking a majority of fifty + percent of votes at all times. Thanks to everyone who voted and followed the results.

And it’s a good one. “Shift” is both a noun and a verb. Generally it means to change position. It can evoke many things: graveyard shift, gear shift, shape-shifting, paradigm shift, the shift key on a keyboard…

I anticipate that we’ll have loads of creative interpretations of this versatile and fun theme. Stay tuned to the SG website later this summer for details on the 20^th annual members’ show…
