TAM Docents: Biennial Presentation Follow-up

Hello Docents-

Thanks to all of you who joined us for the walk-throughs today. It was great to see so many of you there. I appreciate your patience with so much standing as we went through two galleries instead of just the one. I have copied your Biennial presentation information again below. I have highlighted artists who have not yet been chosen in red. For any of you who have not yet signed up, please choose at least one of the artists in red. I have also copied the list of who has signed up, including their choices, so that you can make your decisions knowing what is already coming. I need 2 more of you to sign up for February 23.

 

Give a brief biography of each (the kind of tidbits that would be interesting and useful in a tour) then briefly compare and contrast the 2, explaining why you chose to pair them, wrapping up with your take on why this artwork would be considered “Northwest Art”. You will have 5 minutes to give your presentation with up to another 2 minutes following your presentation for questions and responses from fellow docents (this will help us practice discussing this body of work within the context of the exhibition). I only want to spend one hour standing in the gallery (no stools please – to help us remain mindful of what we ask of our visitors but also to keep timing on track) so we will only do 8 presentations per training period before we move on to something else. This means that 3 different trainings will be needed. Please email me with you’re a) artist preferences and  b) the date you want to do your presentation. I will be asking for variety here so first come will be first served. I may need to ask you to choose other artists if I don’t get everyone represented and, again,  I can only take 8 presentations per date: Monday, February 23; Monday, March 9; or Monday, March 23.
