Rock On! This Week's Sound Bites...11/27/25

One of the first things taught to me when I began writing for The Trentonian newspaper in 2010 was, "Never write in the first person! Don't say "I." Well, how am "I" going to wish all of you a Happy Thanksgiving then? 



5.7: Sculptors Guild

Jersey City needs more exhibition space for large works. On this everyone agrees. There is only so much that can be smushed into SMUSH, or cast into the twin rooms at Deep Space, or snuck into the front room at Curious Matter. We want to encourage our artists to think big. Big thinking requires a capacious setting. With no museum to call ours, we're often forced to park large objects in outdoor spaces. It's probably that the size and plenitude of the wall murals created by JCMAP is a reaction to our lack of giant galleries. Anybody who wants to work at great scale in this town is practically forced to take to the streets.
