Chain Letter
Curated by Christian Cummings & Doug Harvey
July 23 - August 25, 2011
Opening Saturday, July 23 / 6-8 pm
Shoshana Wayne Gallery is pleased to present a summer group show curated by Christian Cummings and Doug Harvey.
Chain Letter is a group exhibition based on admiration. Initially conceived by Christian Cummings and Doug Harvey in 2006, inclusion in the exhibition is based on invitation by someone who admires your work. Each artist invited then invites ten other artists whom they admire, and so on. This email invite will circulate for thirty days, at the end of which each artist will install their own work on the floor at Shoshana Wayne Gallery.
This exhibition is rooted in the ideals of inclusion, and highlights the social nature of the art world. It is the hope of the curators that the response will be vast and that the artists represented will be an exponential representation of all artists that are currently working and admired by their peers.
Chain Letter mimics communication today; and the way in which information is passed. The outcome will be a testament to the power of connectivity within society at present.
Other cities worldwide will be participating in the Chain Letter exhibition including New York City, London, Paris, Johannesburg, Philadelphia, Boston, Seoul. For more information, please visit the gallery website at: www.shoshanawayne.com, or email marichris@shoshanawayne.com

It is common knowledge that (for all of the usual reasons) artists often become pigeonholed in a particular style, or that the ever present curatorial "trend," "theme" or "concept" can become somewhat tyrannical in terms of dictating the way in which artworks take shape. For this exhibit LACDA curator Rex Bruce invited selected artists to try something new or show some un-exhibited work that they would like to have seen. In one sense the exhibit is curated, in that the artists for the show were selected, and in another it is self-governing in that the artists were allowed to choose the works they wish to show. The only influence would be that this choice came with a healthy dose of encouragement to experiment.
In this spirit of experimentation this show is also an inversion of the practice whereby a gallery doles out wall space to the precious few, thus shortchanging artists as well as their audience the experience of the vast wealth of creativity our global culture in fact produces. A very large group exhibit allows more variety and vibrancy and makes a more accurate representation of the massive quantity of art that exists in the contemporary moment. This is especially true for a digital gallery that aligns itself with the electronic free-for-all that constitutes our time; a world replete with social networks, mobile communications, ubiquitous cameras, ubiquitous editing software, uploads, downloads, blogs, vlogs and the extremely open and rapid-fire discourse they engender.

She has served (1991-1994) as a trustee of the Laguna Beach Museum of Art. While a resident of the San Fernando Valley for many years, she has lent art to exhibitions in the college Art Gallery, as well as being a frequent LAVC gallery visitor."
From the exhibition brochure: "Diana has loaned artworks to many museum exhibitions, and selections from her collection have been shown in the art galleries at California State University, Los Angeles (1969), Scripps College (1972), and USC (1985).
