Review of “Wish List” by Gallery Project @ Hyperallergic
TOLEDO, Ohio — Rocco DePietro and Gloria Pritschet characterize the massive group show they curated for Gallery Project, Wish List, as a contemporary statement of cultural desire. If your desire, like mine, is for a visual smorgasboard embodying the collective wishes and hopes of a range of rust belt artists, then Wish List should be on your (to-do) list. The show, which fills out the empty street level of the former Lamson’s department store in downtown Toledo — in tandem with a secondary location in Ann Arbor, Michigan — features more than 50 artists, and the collective impression is one of hope or aspiration as perhaps the only real renewable resource.
