Wednesday Edition: Yijun (Pixy) Liao
Wednesday greetings, collectors. Last night's event? Confabulous! It was really fun and we had an amazing turnout. I really love introducing collectors to the artists that are making the work they're collecting and last night provided ample opportunity to do just that. My only regret was that I didn't get to connect more dots. (We're already figuring out ways to do that better next time, and elsewhere.)
Today's edition, Resting on a Bush, comes to us from Yijun Liao aka Pixy. Pixy moved to NYC recently and today's edition is part deux of the Jen Bekman Projects' equivalent of a tickertape parade in her honor. Part one? The opening reception for our Hey, Hot Shot! exhibition, which is closing this Saturday — be sure to stop by the gallery and check it out.
Releasing this edition is particularly sweet for me as I've had a huge crush on this photo for quite a while now. I posted about it on Personism well over a year ago, and have remained fascinated with Pixy and her work ever since. I was so glad that she entered Hey, Hot Shot! and even more pleased to discover that my fellow panelists were similarly intrigued, meriting her one of the five winning slots in what was an extremely competitive round.
It just kept getting better from there — when we contacted her to tell her she was selected, she let us know that she was about to move here. The opening happened right as she was getting settled, and everyone from JBP has been enjoying getting to know the charming Ms. Pixy live and in person. The icing on the cake was being able to make this very photo her debut 20x200 edition.
It's always nice to exit on a high note, so with our cake iced, I'll take my leave till next week. We've got a ga-ga-gorgeous array of editions lined up and I can't wait to share them. Good thing time flies when you're having fun (and you know we always are), Tuesday will be here before we know it... Look for me then!
