A brief response to the discussion posting:

- The choice of installing in or outside of the gallery setting should be the prerogative of the artist. Some of the works that I am considering could be installed outdoors, but most would not survive outside of the gallery environment.

- Regarding the differences of the two galleries, there has been no suggestion that the two shows be identical. Works will fit together differently in each venue.

- I assume that our discussions / ideas will engage the curators as a part of this process.

- The "site specific" needs of most outdoor art works could connect well here for the reasons stated. I admit, I had not really thought of the industrial rape/pillage aspect of our two cities.

- Although the projections would work very well in Burlington, the AGS has no such sight lines. An alternate venue would need to be found for this aspect of the show. Perhaps part of city hall or the blank windows of the Rainbow Centre. Maybe some of the upper floor windows of the Buddha/Townhouse would help to connect to the Elgin street visitor.

Should we consider showing a couple of pieces each about our home towns?
