Comments for the Art of Waiting

Comment on Jeffrey Nachtigall is waiting… by Elizabeth Weber

Hi there! I’m a Columbia College Chicago student drafting a proposal to curate a show at a gallery on campus. It is tentatively called “Digital Analogs: Intersections in Technology” and would feature old art forms executed through new technology or new art forms executed with older technology, or even old art forms used to capture contemporary life.

While looking around online, I came across you on flickr and lomography, and saw that you’ve done some work that fits into this idea. I thought I’d contact you and ask if you might like to be in the show, along with artists who work in other media. It wouldn’t happen for at least a year because that’s how long it takes to get these things rolling, but I have to file my proposal before the space gets booked. Please contact me if you’re interested. I don’t know if it will help sell any work, exactly, but the gallery is at the corner of a busy South Loop intersection, so it would give your pictures in particular, as well as the lomo art form in general, a considerable amount of exposure.

Here’s one that really made me think, “Aha! An intersection in technology!”

But of course, you might have other work you like better.

Thanks for your time,
Elizabeth Weber

Comment on What are we waiting for? by Chas

This is fascinating. I think waiting is one of the least understood activities of the age in which we live. It is something we all partake in, whether voluntarily or not, whether we understand it or not. It has been said that all good things come to those who wait, yet I have waited at times for a very poor showing for my patience.
Yet, in spite of that, I think waiting is important to us, because if we are willing to wait, we are willing to hope for something better. I look forward to seeing more of this project and the direction it will take.
