“I Can’t I Won’t I Will I Do” Solo Show INSTALLATION at ReflectSpace Gallery!

February 13, 2023 By Debra Disman

I am thrilled to have a solo exhibition at ReflectSpace Gallery, part of Glendale Arts and Culture, which opened Saturday January 28th and is on view through March 26,2023.
The show, a dream come true that I did not even know I  had, was curated by the wonderful Ara and Anahid Oshagan of The City of Glendale. Here I share a bit of our installation process, helmed by the wonderful Stacie B. London, Jennifer Remenchick and Chloe Corse.


“Concurrencies II” lays in wait to be hung.


Working with Chloe to hang “Concurrencies I” and “Concurrencies II”.

Works in waiting…to be placed!


The indefatigable ARA OSHAGAN, artist, curator, publisher, force of nature, and perhaps little-known fact, physicist!


A beautiful corner, complete, and further views:


Team consultation, Stacie, Jennifer, Ara.


“Rent Wound Tear, Mend Heal Repair”

Another beautiful corner complete.


Tick Tick Tick…the installation gets done…on time for the upcoming opening.

Gratitudes to ALL!
