thank you

galleryELL is an artist-run and artist-funded organization. without the participation and hard work of our artists, programing such as, transient landscape: visualizing governors island could not exist. i would especially like to thank nancy hubbard & joel bacon for their support with this project.

thank you to everyone at the trust for governors island for providing us with this space and the opportunity to be a part of the governors island 2011 season.

a special thanks to our sponsor, color-x, to our donors and to the golden seconds program for providing our artists-in-residence with paint.

finally, thank you to our gallery assistants andrew collins, christine bae, emma safir, lily churgin & negin moss for all their hard work and dedication.
