You Are Where You Work

A A A Comments By Susan Froyd Thursday, Dec 1 2011

Erin Algiere, Sandra Fettingis and Kelsey Dalton worked together at the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver, but that's not all they had in common: Like many people who labor behind the scenes at museums, they were all artists, aspiring or otherwise. And since they were far from alone in that respect, they realized it might be an interesting basis for an art exhibit -- so they compiled a list of Colorado venues that fall under the Association of Art Museum guidelines for what constitutes an art museum and invited proposals from artists who also sat at reception desks, served the public behind cafe counters or installed artwork. "We're around art all the time, and we're all influenced by it in some way," Algiere notes. "And we wanted to make sure we were representing a collective voice."
