Dear CrossTalkers,

A big thanks to everyone who visited the site over the three day critique period, and an even bigger thanks to those who posted to the message board. It was certainly a thought-provoking conversation...and a well attended one at that: From the 1st through the 3rd, the website averaged 200 views per day, and out of those 33 lasted an hour or longer. At midnight on Friday, the board had 41 registered members and 63 posts.

Not too shabby at all.
BUT, it's not over yet.

The wondrous thing about virtual exhibitions is that they never really end. The site is still up, and the message board is still active. The three day critique period was only an opening 'event'—a time-sensitive gathering of viewers and participants to the exhibition. However, the site continues on and remains available for people as a gateway to those artworks, and also as a perpetually evolving conversation. So, if you've registered, but haven't been able to pinpoint what you want to post quite yet, or if you're not registered yet, but you'd still like to contribute—you can!


And, on a related note...the curator is handing over the keys:

The model for CrossTalk was conceived not just as a website but also a functional site—a publicly available space on the Net that can (to a degree) adapt to the wants and needs of its community of users. Accordingly, the administrator login information has been posted to the homepage of the message board. The hope in doing so is that the critique can continue and be maintained democractically, with shared and equal access to its features. Anyone is now free to take the reigns of the message board's settings at any time should s/he so choose.


Thanks again! and see you in the ether,
Your friendly neighbourhood admin
