If you count yourself among one of the lucky ones that’s heading off to NCECA this year allow me to give you an exhibition suggestion, as I know there are so many to chose from! The curator, Robin Lambert will be doing a guest post on musing once he returns from NCECA for those of us not attending so that we can get a bit of a run down of the events. Keep an eye out for that. In the meantime you can check out his website.
But here are the exhibition details:
