From January 1 through December 31, 2014, Leslie Tane designed one 4×6” postcard every day. The result is “Curatorial 365.”

After graduate school, Leslie decided to continue her study of curation, exhibit design, and art history with this mediation of making. After reading a relevant essay each day, she selected a phrase from it to design. The intention was two-fold: the reading became a daily practice of learning and the designing sharpened her creative skills. Each postcard is different, and Leslie took this client-less, budget-less opportunity to experiment, fail, and persevere. It turned out that a 365 days is a very, very long time.
