Amid/In WNY 2015 is a conversationally-derived casual survey of the art of our region at this moment. It does not include everyone and, in the end, will not include everyone. It's not planned as some all-encompassing, omnibus survey. We have used the term "studio trolling" to describe our process and that's an apt description. We consulted with each other to cobble together a list of artists whose work we were interested in investigating at this time. Beginning in November 2014, over 70 studio visits have been completed with local and regional artists. Artists and their work were discussed before, during, between, and after our visits.
Amid/In WNY 2015 will be (with the exception of the summer members' exhibition—its own kind of casual survey) the only 2015 project in Hallwalls' gallery schedule. Four additional exhibitions will premiere in March, May, September, and November 2015. We have no idea what these remaining four exhibitions will contain. They will be similarly culled from an ongoing process of studio trolling, conversations, and lunch.
