20th Annual Thanksgiving Collective: Breaking Bread
Looking back over the last two decades, now half of my life, many flashes of memories flutter through my mind. One person whose praises I'm inspired to sing is my godmother, Lisa de Kooning. She is an angel who鈥檚 shed the restraints of time, a teacher who makes the misfits feel wanted and cared about, a mother to three stunning and consciously attuned daughters, an animal whisperer of all breeds, a fighter, and my godmother, who introduced my Caribbean father to my North Carolinian (Amagansian since 1957) mother. She helped me sign my first lease on Jobs Lane in Southampton when the Tripoli Gallery of Contemporary Art was born in 2009, and along the way taught me parts of the art world that are unteachable. Thank you, Lisa, I dedicate Breaking Bread to you.
Someone recently asked me if I enjoyed my job. I told them today I loved it however, when asked initially it wasn鈥檛 as easy to answer. Now I see it as a responsibility. After accepting the title of this exhibition by Lola Montes while hanging by the pool the day after Vito and Helena鈥檚 stunning and time-stopping wedding, this year鈥檚 collective started to form. I looked over all the artists I had been given the honor of showing over these past two decades and started reaching out and reconnecting with everyone. With an overwhelming response, like Thich Nat Han says, 鈥淎ll of a sudden the right elements were there鈥 and the exhibition began to manifest.
