"GOODBYE RASPUTIN"...It is with great sadness-WAIT!-no it isn't, I'm smizing! He's closing up the travellin' roadshow folks, easing on down road, and leaving on a jet plane(for Berlin? oh, that was last year). Hmmmmm. But seriously, it's a good thing Martha, because what has really got to be in my opinion, a truly divisive force in the local art scene lately, not to mention a major culprit in denegrating local art history and culture for the past 10 years is movin'on folks. YAY! say it again YAY!.
Too bad thoough for all his artists that drank the KOOL-AID, now that truly is sad, let's hope they can rebound. Any-hoo, it all happens for a reason and maybe this was meant to be...let's just hope he doesn't surface somewhere locally to cause more destruction and strife.
But MOST importantly-WHAT's JEN GONNA DO NOW!?!?!

excerpt(his words)

"I have accepted an appointment to a position that expands my ability to contribute to the art community in Seattle. Because of this new post, I will no longer be ‘projecting’ with the Project. While this is wonderful news for me personally and professionally, I am quite sad that I won't be working with my stellar stable of artists in a gallery capacity. I do, however, look forward to working with them in new and exciting ways in the years to come. A formal announcement of my new appointment will happen soon. Stay tuned...

I want to thank all the collectors, colleagues and audiences that have made the last six years the very best of my professional career so far, but most of all I'd like to thank the hundreds of artists, curators and writers that helped to distinguish Lawrimore Project.
