After resisting modernity for as long as dignity allowed, the Institute is launching a newsletter. We are calling it The Unremarkable Dispatch, because everything else was taken and because the name fills us with a calm, expensive sadness.
What You Will Receive
Each edition, delivered whenever Nigel feels misunderstood, will contain:
- A curated selection of the latest gallery submissions, described with the gravity of a Renaissance altarpiece despite originating from a photograph of someone's lunch.
- A wall label or two, written in the voice of an institution that has never once admitted error.
- The occasional offer, because the lights here are not powered by reverence alone.
What You Will Not Receive
You will not receive daily emails. You will not receive a "quick question." You will not receive anything that respects your time, because we do not respect ours either, and we consider that fair.
Why You Should Subscribe
Frankly, because the alternative is not subscribing, and we cannot in good conscience recommend a life that empty.
Subscribers will be the first to witness new works escaping into the public gallery, the first to be told what to think about them, and, in the fullness of time, the first to be offered the chance to acquire them as objects that make rooms tense.
To join, locate the signup on our homepage and surrender an email address. We will treat it with all the seriousness we treat everything, which is to say theatrically.
