CAROL COREY
We are very proud to welcome gallerist Carol Corey of Danese/Corey to join the IMC 2016 as a special guest. Carol will do an open Q&A in Pruyne Hall, look at work and talk one on one with the students in the Gallery focus group. Danese opened in New York in 1997 with concurrent exhibitions – Dan Flavin’s iconic sculptures ‘Monuments’ to V. Tatlin, and rare drawings by Kazimir Malevich. Since then, the gallery has built a successful international reputation with a focus on the representation of contemporary artists and estates. From the works of Elizabeth King and Deborah Butterfield to Roz Chast, Gabrielle Bakker and Simone Bianchi, Danese/Corey brings a unique perspective to the gallery world. In 2013, the gallery relocated from 24th Street to a large ground floor space at 511 West 22nd Street, at which time they became DANESE/COREY when Carol Corey was named partner. |

As the Creative Director of Orbit Books and Yen Press for the past five years, she has been trying to merge the worlds of genre and commercial publishing and figure out what SFF publishing looks like in the present world of mainstream "geek" media.

Marc Scheff and Lauren Panepinto started EDO with a new model for collecting original small works by new and emerging artists and illustrators.
EDO has made it possible for people who love art and want to collect original pieces to start collecting for the first time. The benefits for the artists have been present in a thriving platform for experimentation for small works and the sale of the those pieces every month. We are very happy that EDO will be available for portfolio review for people in group 2 and three working in traditional media. |
