In this week’s Vue Weekly, Amy Fung writes about our Summer Members’ Series and the experience of seeing works-in-progress:

The more opportunities for visual artists to show their works-in-progress, the better, as communication in and around the art world can only approve. Studio critiques appear to be a regular exercise when in art school, forcing students to verbally enunciate a word or two about their work, or God forbid, defend their work to questions. One translation of that has surfaced as of late: Latitude 53 recently began showing a members’ series that lasts for a few days at a time, and the one I’ve caught so far, by Marc Seigner, appears to be quite different from his known body of work in printmaking, and it was positive to see a space for experiments and works in progress.

Tonight on the patio—as well as our regular Thursday-night party hosted by the board of directors—we have the opening party for the third entry in the series, Gerry Dotto’s Crooked Numbers, and next week we’ll be finishing the series with an installation by Elaine Wannechko. We hope to see you!
