Congrats on the show Sven. It's nice that you are explaining why some artist or carvers are not in the show but that should not be needed.

As someone who has done art shows in the past and is close enough to hear any news going on at M Modern or the Shag store it always pisses me of when an artist protest or gives you grief for not choosing them.

It is the gallery and curators choice of concept and what will match it best.

sometimes you can't fit all the artist or you don't think it's cost effective with larger pieces and far destinations shipping too.

or a gallery do's not want to show a piece that is already SOLD to someone else and not get a cut.......that is just good business sense.

I know this is not Very PC to say,but with a forum like tiki central you would think that all artist would still support the show with there fellow friends that are in the show.

This is just my own opinion ..............
