“My relationship with art is not a love affair. It is more like a continuation of the kind of curiosity a toddler has about the world around them. That curiosity is not about love but understanding the larger world beyond the confines of my body and mind.”[2]
Artist Jerry Vis, is a key figure in the Alternative Art Movement in Soho NY during the 1969-1976 time period is seeking exhibition opportunities. Much of this era's art was ephemeral, leaving limited documentation. Jerry has included a letter for your consideration, along with excerpts from the 1981 New Museum book "Alternatives in Retrospect" (1969-1975) featuring his work at the Apple Gallery.
He had several notable works in contribution with Billy Apple[3] and Geoff Hendricks. His works are described in detail on his Jerry Vis Art website

He has an M.F.A. in fine art and taught for many years in public school and college. He is the author of two memoirs: Paterson Boy: My Family and Other Strangers: A Memoir in Twenty-Eight Stories and I’m Not Here: Strange Relatives, a Stranger Boarding School, and the Saving Grace of Art and Love.[4]
"My husband amazes me with all the things he can do, all the details. I'm particularly fond of our bedroom, for which he made all the furniture. It's a serene adult sitting room, with a treetop view," says Bettylou. "Also my kitchen. It has a built-in compost receptacle. We call the pantry our 'cat apartment.' My spices stay organized. There's a place for everything."[5] - Jerry Vis' late wife, Bettylou Vis
