From Sofia Zutautas of the Chicago Department
of Cultural Affairs, on the exhibit at the Chicago Cultural Center:
Dear Ginny and Mary:
Sorry for the delay in responding to your request.
I hope it is not too
late.
What a simple yet intriguing project... The
Coaster Project
incorporates international artistic representation, collaboration
and
participation. The small format made it portable and accessible to
both artists and audiences. The content of the show, installed in
our small window displays right outside the major gallery spaces,
continuously attracted the attention of passersby. Each work very
different from the other, crossing cultural/political barriers, yet
united in the format and mission. The exhibition had a successful
run here. I hope this kind of collaboration and project will continue
to exist and even expand itself.
Sincerely,
Sofia Zutautas, Exhibition Coordinator/Assistant
Curator
Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs
