JEMA | Information

“Basically, the Museum “produces” art knowledge, criticism, scholarship, understanding, taste… once a product is made, the next job is distribution. An exhibition in the galleries is distribution. Circulation of exhibition catalogues, memberships, publicity, radio, are all distribution.”

	> JEMA Timeline > JEMA Press		The John Erickson Museum of Art is a location variable museum. It does not have a fixed address and is designed to be portable and movable. In a sense, all of its exhibitions are travelling exhibitions. As part of its Museum Stealth Initiative JEMA frequently travels to venues that are architecturally larger in scale to gain a greater audience. To contact JEMA and find out about upcoming events or to book JEMA for special occasions please contact Sean Miller at sean@jema.us
