Tangibilia Today

My exhibition in New York City opens this afternoon.

Partial installation view of “Franklin Einspruch: Tangibilia.”

Greetings DMJ readers! I hope the lack of posting this week is understandable in light of my show opening this afternoon at 3 at THERE. Anticipatory and congratulatory emails have been rolling in abundantly and I’m grateful. I’m additionally thankful to you, because paid subscribers of DMJ made this exhibition possible. Your support funded framing, transportation, and all the necessities of putting the show together. The final hang has eight new oil paintings and seven works on paper for your delectation.

If you can’t make the reception today, there will be an event tomorrow evening hosted by FAIR NYC, featuring myself, illustrator Vesper Stamper, and more. Admission is free but we request your registration via the Eventbrite page. There are public hours next Saturday 12-5 PM, and the gallery is open by appointment otherwise; contact dissidentmuse@proton.me. Here’s all the info, but to spare you a click:

Start date: Saturday, June 1, opening reception 3-6 PM.

End date: Saturday, June 8, with the gallery open to the public 12-5 PM. On the 8th the gallery will have copies of Aphorisms for Artists by Walter Darby Bannard available for signing by Einspruch, the book’s editor.

Gallery: THERE, 135 W. 26th Street (between 6th and 7th Avenues), 9B, New York City. Between the public hours on June 1 and June 8 the gallery is open by appointment; contact dissidentmuse@proton.me.

I’ve finished J.F. Martel’s book that we’ve been reading for the Asynchronous Studio Book Club, and I deem it sufficiently magnificent that I want to give it a proper concluding write-up, which I’ll have time for during the coming week. Thanks for your patience on that front.

Hope to see you today or catch up with you this week. Again, to my readers, thank you.

Content at DMJ is free but paid subscriptions keep it coming. Please consider one for yourself and thank you for reading.

“Franklin Einspruch: Tangibilia,” an exhibition at THERE in New York City, runs June 1-8, with an opening on June 1. Hope to see you there.

The current entry of the Asynchronous Studio Book Club is Reclaiming Art in the Age of Artifice: A Treatise, Critique, and Call to Action by J.F. Martel. For more information see the ASBC calendar, which is kind of toast at the moment, but it will give you an idea of what typically goes on.

Dissident Muse’s first publication, Backseat Driver by James Croak, is available now at Amazon.

Aphorisms for Artists: 100 Ways Toward Better Art by Walter Darby Bannard is out now at Allworth Press. More information is available at the site for the book. If you own it already, thank you; please consider reviewing the book at Amazon, B&N, or Goodreads.
