Artist project: Jean Freeman Gallery promotional materials for fictional shows by fictional artists for a fictional gallery 1970 – 1971. 
Jean Freeman Image sheets for exhibition “Idra” Oct. 3 - Nov. 5: One sheet shows a woman, assumed to be Idta. It actually comes from a 35 mm slide Fugate-Wilcox shot in 1968 of a woman studying to be a nun. The connection for Fugate-Wilcox is that both the nun-to-be and Idra are novices.  The other serial- based image sheet shows a reprocuction from a contact sheet of twnty-six 35 mm negatives shot  by Fugate-Wilcox in 1969 from his Broadwayy street loft window looking down several stories to a group of men gambling in the street. 

As with the majority of the press-releases, the “Idra” release is type-written in all caps on Hiawatha erasable bond, ivory paper with the hand embossed letters JFG at the top of the page.

The Jean Freeman Gallery was a conceptual project created by Terry Fugate-Wilcox as both a work of art and critique of the art world. From the summer of 1970 to March 1971, advertisements appeared in four leading art magazines—Artforum, Art in America, Arts Magazine, and ARTnews—for a group show and six solo exhibitions at the Jean Freeman Gallery in NYC. Gallery goers soon discovered the address for the gallery did not exist. The ads, in fact, were promoting fictional shows by fictional artists in a fictional gallery.
