Another awesome art database referral, this time from Paddy Johnson at Art Fag City:
“Grackle is an at-a-glance database of modern and contemporary art exhibitions available for tour.”
It’s searchable by artist, organization, curator, floorplan or exhibition fee and seems like it could be an excellent resource for smaller and up and coming organizations that want to get connected to venues in other cities and locales, something I’ve been meaning to get working on for a while now.
I’m not sure that touring exhibitions are always successful when they’re supplanted from their original context to a new one, but with programs like PromArts and the Exhibition Transportation Service being cut or canceled in Canada with no signs of being restored any time soon, this might be a good way to help galleries and institutions reach out geographically and share resources to keep interesting exhibitions happening.
