between you and me (sororal diversity) : Vernissage
Back at the beginning of January, through an introduction made by Rupert Gredler, Helen and I were offered an opportunity to hold an exhibition of our work at Kunst Raum Vierhauser, Salzburg. We accepted the offer almost without hesitation, our only real concern was that the opening date was set for 7th March and we knew, even without our "day jobs", that it would take a lot of effort to organize and publicize the event in such a short time space ... it did!
Eight rather frenetic weeks later and the room was looking great and was ready for the opening night. Our efforts were rewarded by a wonderful (and well attended) evening. Rupert kindly agreed to introduce the exhibition; his speech was thought provoking, considered and affecting.
We have put up a website : www.between-you-and-me.com in support of the exhibition, where the full text of Ruperts speech is available. An english language translation will follow in due course. There are more photographs from the Vernissage and examples of our work on the "BYAM" site.
Special thanks go to Frau Vierhauser, for allowing us the use of her lovely space and whose assistance in hanging the works was invaluable. And to Rupert Gredler, for his support and for his trust.
