Mid Summer Pop Up is a rare thing here: an artist-created show that was made out of something else entirely. Painter
Sibel Kocabasi took a former antique shop, and in a just few days, conjured up a gallery space from it. And from this space, made an exhibition that I am very proud to be a part of. I'm still not sure how she, and all the people that helped her, managed to do it, and so beautifully.

Wow, Amy! I really like your green mossy mold-spore sort of orb creation! What DO you call them?
That Gallery looks like it couldn't have just been an antiques shop.... they did an amazing transformation!
I have been meaning to ask you how your exhibition went. So thanks for these pictures. It was almost as if I was there. Especially as the space really reminded me of the ad hoc galleries set up in a row of old conserved houses just down the road where I lived.
Your pieces were displayed really well, I thought. :)
Didn't Sibel work magic? I had sneaked a peak at the shop before she got started, and it was packed with antiques, floor to ceiling. (And there was a really gorgeous wooden doll house there too).
I call some of my objects, well, objects. But some of them are biotopes, which actually is a real word, meaning a small area where different kinds of life co-exist. In my case it's all make-believe life, more about me than the real world, but as much of a mix of the two as I can muster.
Sans, would I Love to see the galleries in the conserved houses! That sets my mind racing. What kind of art did they show?! And thank you about the display-usually my pieces wind up in very spare white spaces, so I loved the red piece on the ornate little table.
