<p>Jennifer, if you've already considered doing this, you're halfway there!</p>
<p>Can't wait to hear how it goes- Rebecca</p>

<p>That's great to hear, John!</p>

<p>So many possibilities exist with your work. Admittedly, when I wrote sound up there, I was thinking about your flute collection! My imagination took me to a collaborative show/performance between your work and symphonies.</p>

<p>I imagined a portion of a concert hall where guests could see your exhibition, and then hear your flutes in use during the performance. From the symphony's point of view, the idea of a concert performance plus art…</p>

<p>I imagined a portion of a concert hall where guests could see your exhibition, and then hear your flutes in use during the performance. From the symphony's point of view, the idea of a concert performance plus art exhibition may add another facet to their usual events, thus attracting more concert goers and sales. Perhaps a special exhibition of your flutes on display that are used during the performance would pique their audience's interest. Without interrupting their planned schedule, maybe some symphonies and orchestras already have a concert in the works that include flute solos or concertos, like Debussy's Syrinx or Flight of The Bumblebee.. </p>

<p>For example, The Michigan Philharmonic is planning to perform The Golden Flute in October of this year.</p>

Nice, nice, nice, Rebecca. I'm already imagining possibilities...<br />
I have a friend who does incredible 3D models and drawings. It would be a perfect fit to hang my stuff with!

<p>This is great. What a beautiful collaboration! I have been thinking and dreaming up a collaboration for some time, this is just the thing to inspire it to happen. I couldn't agree more, it's time to create our own shows!! Thank you for sharing this.</p>

<p>Thank you for posting about your future collaborative show!</p>
<p></p>
<p>I've been thinking about this for some time, and will flush out the idea in a future post, but a pattern is beginning to emerge. The pattern to focus on a show's theme as opposed to medium. More and more galleries are exhibiting themed shows and lifting preconceived restrictions regarding what mediums are acceptable to interpret the theme in question.

<p>I've been thinking about this for some time, and will flush out the idea in a future post, but a pattern is beginning to emerge. The pattern to focus on a show's theme as opposed to medium. More and more galleries are exhibiting themed shows and lifting preconceived restrictions regarding what mediums are acceptable to interpret the theme in question. This can open the flood gate of opportunities for applied artists everywhere that have run into obstacles showing their work. </p>

<p>I have a piece in it's fourth month of a traveling exhibit as an artist's response to the Newtown Sandyhook shootings that occurred stateside in December, and can relate to <span style="font-size: 13px;">what you said. I agree that it does, as you wrote, "force one to make atypical work," which can encourage us to step beyond ourselves and our comfort zone. Sometimes that stretch is just what's needed to get our work to another level. </span></p>

<p>Thank you for contributing and please keep us posted on the upcoming SCC show in September.</p>

<p>Very interesting. Thanks for sharing this. I'm currently working on a small collection with photographer Simon Murphy and a group of young people who've been affected by violence for a show in the SCC in Pittsburgh later in the year. It was a bit of lateral thinking which brought me to this collaboration as I was simply asked to respond to the theme of "Enough Violence".</p>
<p>Unfortunately, I can't post any pictures just now but will do after the show has opened in September.</p>

<p>These sorts of collaborations are all-too rare and I've found this one both stimulating and stressful but would be keen to do it again as it's forced me to make some atypical work.</p>
