What people are saying about Akimbo !
"Akimbo provides a highly effective and efficient means to circulate up-to-the-minute information to a large network. It's affordable, reliable and usefully ''third party.' I love it." Clive Robertson - artist, critic, publisher, professor, April 2008
"Western Front Media Arts has certainly had notable responses from folks across the country thanks to your Akimbos. I get notes of interest from Toronto, Montréal, Banff, Winnipeg... It's obvious that folks are paying attention - Thank you Kim!" Alissa Firth-Eagland, Director / Curator, Western Front Media Arts, Vancouver, March 2008
"... thank you so much for posting our [call for proposals] ad. Truly appreciated. Great responses - literally overnight. We are thrilled. Akimbo is a professional and far reaching venue that really works." Gerten Basom, Cambridge Sculpture Garden, November 2007.
"I would like to say...officially...thanks very much for the Akimbo last week. The ad was beautiful and it got great reaction. ... I plan to use them for all my shows starting in October. " Patrick Mikhail, Director, Patrick Mikhail Gallery, Ottawa, May 2007.
"I wanted to let you know that we've had great media response - Radio Canada and Peter Goddard of the Toronto Star called - as a result of our akimbo for the opening of the show this fall." EJ. Lightman and Anne O'Callaghan, co-curators, The Tree Museum, Gravenhurst ON, September, 2006.
"Just a note to let you know that we are getting a good number of hits from your akimbo postings - we have a significant spike in hits each time one goes out and the number has doubled this month over last month. Also, CBC is continuing to put our news releases on air, including my ad for my NAC show (NAC has decided to start using akimbo as a result of my ravings and the results!), so we are very pleased with how akimbo is helping get the word out about the artists in Niagara." Tobey C. Anderson, Director, CRAMart, and Artist, St. Catharines, Ontario, June, 2006
"The Akimbos we use to find content for Alphabet CIty are a huge success, and bring us exciting material from all over." John Knechtel, Director, Alphabet City, May, 2006
"I have an account that tells me how many hits my website gets each day. Today, after the Akimbo listing, my North American hits increased by 500%! Incredible." Benny Nemerofsky Ramsay, Artist. November, 2005
"Thanks to the effectiveness of akimbos, our Christo lecture has sold out." - Andrea Seaborn, Marketing Coordinator, Art Gallery of Ontario, March. 2005.
"Akimbits is brilliant and I love the archive of info available at the same time. I predict that akimbo-ed will become a verb, kinda like 'google' has become --- you are invaluable to the community!" -- Rina Greer, Director, Toronto Sculpture Garden, December, 2004.
"akimbits is an excellent name* and a great idea." * akimbo is great, too. my fave songwriter is vic chesnutt, on strength of using the word akimbo in a song ("even her freakish nipples are akimbo").-- Dave Dyment, Artist, December, 2004.
"You're my hero, in a weird freakish art (not so much with the super powers doing away with evil and bad costumes) way." -- Steve Loft, Visual Artist/Curator/Writer, Winnipeg, September, 2004
"Kim "Akimbo" Fullerton - Best thing for art in T.O. The problem with art is that when it's presented to the public, it's often wrapped in sandpaper with a card containing offensively big words. Kim Fullerton, through her innovative Akimbo e-mail art news service and more recently with her promotions efforts, is making a real effort to make art accessible in Toronto. That's good for everyone." NOW magazine Best of Toronto Critics' Pick, 2003.
"I run a web-based nomadic gallery that is completely dependant on effectively communicating our current location as we move around all the time. Obviously, the art community trusts and respects AKIMBO based on the huge difference your service made on both our sales and attendance. I am now a believer. Thank you." -- Paul Butler, www.othergallery.com, November, 2002
"I wanted to let you know that we received an incredible response to the broadcasts you sent out, both for the job opportunity and the call for proposals for the residency. We'll definitely be in touch again!' - Charlene McNichol, Walter Phillips Gallery, Banff, October 2002
"We had great results with the last release. We seemed to have a lot of interest after the broadcast. Wonderful attendance at the opening despite weather. Studio 2 from TVOntario is doing a segment on the show. Canadian Art is coming to Owen Sound today to review the show. Absolutearts.com from Pittsburgh picked up the release and mounted a feature on the show which I think is still on their site. All this coverage was great to relay to the Board and City Council here at budget time." - Stuart Reid, Director/Curator, Tom Thomson Art Gallery, Owen Sound, February 2002
"I think that your e-mail service is very valuable. The AGSM is located 2.5 hours from the Exchange District in Winnipeg and 4 hours from Regina so especially in winter it is difficult to get to larger urban areas. I can scan the e-mail quickly and print or save what I want to refer to later. I don't have stacks of paper piling up." - Chris Reid, Curator, Art Gallery of Southern Manitoba, Brandon, January 2002
"I cannot tell you how much I appreciate getting your notices! Keeps me up on what's up! I often forward to clients and others. I'm impressed with the quality and level of activities you send out...that's why I like it ...I do not have to edit...there is no "junk" -- no Sunday painters.... no Hype. I open and read every one. If I don't have time, they get held 'till the end of the day. Keep it up!" - Diane Farris, Diane Farris Gallery, Vancouver, May, 2001
"Akimbo broadcasts are very useful and are what the internet is all about. Our community seems more like a family due to your efforts." - David Hlynsky, artist, Toronto, September 2001
"Thank you for the Akimbo broadcasts which we regularly post in our "current exhibitions" binders here at Artexte. " - Kristine Friedmann, Artexte, Montreal, October 2001
"I'd need a clone to attend all the good things you tell me about, but it's nice to know they're happening. Many thanks for letting me know." - Vera Frenkel, February, 2000
