I've often said that in my next life I plan to come back as a curator (in a large museum where there's pay and institutional support, thank you). In the meantime, I get to indulge my curatorial urges with posts like these. One of the great things about curating blog-style is that it allows for a nicely non-hierarchical coming together of artists and galleries. .

Want to see more? There are two important and expansive online resources for abstraction of the geometric and reductive kind: Geoform and Minus Space. While there's some visual overlap, Geoform has the more expansive vision, Minus Space the more stringently reductive; both are international in scope. Each online project is founded and maintained by artists who are passionate about this particular aspect of artistic expression.
