the beginning

kork is 864 square inches of project space located above the photocopier in the office of Bailey Browne CPA and Associates, in Poughkeepsie, NY.

On a bimonthly basis a new artist will be pushing up against the confines of this bulletin board, examining among other things, the nature of work, the role of art in a non art context, issues of memory and attention, communication, utility as decor, the decor of utility, the utility of futility and God knows what else.

Deborah Bailey Browne, principal of the firm, has been supportive and welcoming to a series in exhibits and art based interventions I've organized within the office over the span of several years, featuring the work of a variety of mostly local artists.
Born from this series of rotating installations, kork will exist separately as it's own self contained entity.

The office is located at 80 Washington St in Poughkeepsie, NY, Suite 202. You are welcome to visit the space, but you can just as easily trace the goings on here on this blog.
