BLIND DATES

PRATT MANHATTAN GALLERY
Manhattan Campus
144 W. 14th St. 
Second Floor, Tuesday–Saturday, 11 AM–6 PM

November 19, 2010–February 12, 2011

Artists at the Opening of "Blind Dates" on November 18To create "Blind Dates," co-curators Defne Ayas and Neery Melkonian paired artists and non-artists from areas once controlled by the Ottomans, including what is now modern-day Turkey and Armenia, to go on “blind dates.” 

The “match-making” created encounters between distanced neighbors and their estranged cultures; the exhibition is based on collaborations stemming from these encounters with “otherness.”

For more on the project, please visit the Pratt Manhattan Gallery or www.blinddatesproject.org.

[claire jeanine sAtin]

I have requested previously numerous times for consideration of my work as an alumnus of both Pratt Institue (where is was awarded a Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Grant for Sculpture upon receiving my MFA 9n 1968) and Sarah Lawrence College, with no response. I have been working as a professional artist for over 30 years with shows in the U..S. and Europe.

My works are in major institutions, i.e. The Library of Congress; The Getty Center; MOMA, NYC; The Victoria & Albert Museum, and numerous others.

I would be happy to hear from the Alumna Department in this regard.

Thank you.
