All Of It

I am so glad I could make it in an 11th hour, race-to-the-closing-of-the-show, dash to Gallery Aferro in Newark, NJ to see Dahlia Elsayed's All of It.

Dahlia uses text and maps, among other things, to create personal histories and isolate moments and emotions.  Hers was an untraditional display of over 100 pieces, arranged in such a way that an interesting narrative emerged.  Items were tacked to the wall in various ways, and where there was framing, it was white-on-white.

and good for you, Dahlia, for appearing in the NYT recently as being a finalist for the Guggenheim Museum's "YouTube Play, A Biennial of Creative Video."  (winner to be unveiled soon)

Go, Dahlia!
