an exhibition that created itself through connectivity
Gallery 37A is pleased to present 6/6/6, An Exhibition that Created Itself Through Connectivity. Six artists, including Jeff Badger from South Portland, Maine auto-curated this traveling exhibition, hosted in San Francisco, Chicago, Santa Fe, Detroit, Philadelphia 6/6/6 will make its final stop this September in Portland, Maine at Gallery 37-A. Please join us First Friday, September 2 from 6–10 pm for the final iteration of an exhibition that has successfully joined disparate artists and art communities across the United States.
About the Exhibition
With the proliferation of social networking and technology-based communication, making real connections becomes more important than ever. Each artist in this exhibition has selected one other artist who lives and works in a different community, forming a network of local art communities and creating personal and global connections among artists. This effort makes the local more than just local and infuses each region with energy from around the country. Like a chain letter, this process is expansive and like an exquisite corpse, the results are surprising and unexpected. This exhibition, in a sense, “created itself” by means of connectivity. Appropriately for a show about drawing connections, the show takes the drawn line as its subject and features artists from all over the country: Jeff Badger (Portland, ME), Carl Baratta (Chicago, IL), Amanda Curreri (San Francisco, CA); Joanne Lefrak (Santa Fe, NM), Kathy Leisen (Detroit, MI) and Dan Schank (Philadelphia, PA).
Throughout the past year 6/6/6 has travelled across the country, on exhibit in the hometowns of each artist: January in San Francisco (Queens Nails Projects), February in Santa Fe (Linda Durham Contemporary Art) , April in Chicago (Lloyd Dobler Gallery), May in Detroit (Popp’s Packing), and July in Philadelphia (Pterodactyl Projects). The show now makes its final stop in Maine, the home of local artist Jeff Badger, at Gallery 37A in Portland. 6/6/6 opens on Friday, September 2nd with a reception during the First Friday Art Walk.

Artist/Co-Organizer
"The exhibition “6/6/6” is a concept show in which six artists from six cities connected with each other through social networking media. Each artist selected another artist from a different city and so, through chain-letter logic, the direction was expansively unpredictable."
