This is the first year I haven’t closed TTP for the summer.  This year I introduced the compare chart for museums, which DON’T close or limit their hours in the summer so  I thought it would be helpful to keep that open.  As long as the site is open, I’m doing my best to see as many galleries as I can every single day (due to limited gallery hours and my day job, I only have about 20 minutes a day to see shows).

Most shows in the summer are “group shows” – either curated by someone special (like this) or organized around a particular theme (like this) or just a collection of artists that the gallery represents (like this).  So rather than pick “shows”, I’m really picking pieces within those shows.  At the time of this post, every one of those pieces (see the top five) is a film/video.   Not sure what that says, but if you do like art films, or are curious what that even means, now is a great time to check it out (if you can get off work on a weekday afternoon).
