JUROR’S STATEMENT

Jurying an exhibition is rewarding and challenging. Shows usually take months, even years, to pull together, but in the space of a few hours, hundreds of images are reviewed, and decisions are made. The juror brings their knowledge and experience, but the economy of time also necessitates some consideration of a gut reaction. As a juror I approach the work first through the prism of technique--skill, craftsmanship, composition, and medium. Is the piece well executed? Does it do something new with the medium? Does the piece catch my eye and make me explore it further? Is it pleasing to look at? Is it challenging? Is it presented well?

The works submitted for the show suggest that the Fellowship is a diverse and talented arts community. I want those who submitted work to know that eliminating pieces from the pool is hard. I wish to congratulate those artists whose work was admitted, and to further encourage those whose work was not. Lastly, I want to thank you—the Artist—for the opportunity to become acquainted with your work, and for the privilege of jurying this year's exhibition.

Kirsten M. Jensen, PhD, Gerry & Marguerite Lenfest Chief Curator, Michener Art Museum
