Sonja Benskin Mesher - Latest News ..January 2018 News.. :: last year brought change 2019 new work will come :: 2+0+1+9 = 12…1+2 = 3 .A BOOK ABOUT DEATH. ten years It’s official – There will be a 10th Anniversary (and possibly final) Edition of ABAD Exhibition on Long Island, NY in 2019. The Islip Art Museum in East Islip, NY will host, and the show will run from September 14 – November 2, 2019. This is done in honor of Ray Johnson, who created a Mail Art network that ultimately reached further and deeper than he could ever have imagined. This is done in honor of Matthew Rose, who began the worldwide ABAD Project phenomenon in 2009. This is done in order to grow our international ABAD family and foster creative bonds and understanding across the world. *** the art practice has a new studio in bala, and retains the home studio. both places afford space for me to work and to teach when requested.
for any information about visiting or learning ; even chatting do mail me
sonja@sonja-benskin-mesher.com
a new work agenda brings a focus in the studios on my own ideas and my inclusion in collaborative projects so rather than list the projects where the work is shown i feel it enough to say that i will remain involved with those galleries and publications that request work so as a new year commences i move forward with excitement and pleasure.
