Interview with art collector Douglas Reid, owner of Grosvenor Galleries in Kingston Jamaica.
by guest video blogger Berette Macaulay from SeBiArt
For almost 25 years now, Grosvenor Galleries has been a fixture on the art landscape in Kingston, Jamaica. Collector and owner, Douglas Reid, has exhibited works from Jamaica's finest established artists to our new and emerging intuitives and art school graduates. Douglas always seeks works that depict our beautiful landscape, our people and culture, but also creations from the unlimited imaginations of our artists, in paint, photography, sculpture, video art, and installations. It has been his interest to expose the public to works not often seen in other spaces -- those that are risky, edgy, or groundbreaking, "I think we distinguished ourselves early on as a gallery that was willing to show much less "main stream" art....that which was much more experimental....to raise awareness...and broaden the spectrum of what...is available to us."
His feelings on Jamaican art have committed him to this quest, stating that though we accomplish so much in pushing barriers,we still seem to be bounded in that we shy away from the duty to report, chronicle, or document our history and experiences. In the last 10 years he has taken on this duty himself, by collecting the ubiquitous hand painted street dance signs nailed up on our JPS light posts around Kingston and Portland. Never exhibited together as an artistic statement, his collection is now on view at Grosvenor Galleries through August 20th, 2010.
