Email Submissions-Exhibition Proposals, Wave Of The Future?

Email submissions are more and more common, they seem to be the way many galleries are going, some galleries even insist on only sending email proposals. I am a big fan of these electronic submissions, my last 2 shows of work were a result of simple emails, 1 print at the Alberta Open 2013 and my bigger 37 print show at the Kassa Gallery. I think many galleries-curators have come to realize that if the work is good enough you do not need all the bells and whistles of fancy submission packages (often the sign of weak art). If the work is strong and original an environmentally friendly email is enough. If the gallery likes what it sees it can work with the artist from there. Emails are fast simple and effective for both the artist and the curator, I hope more and more galleries will adopt them.
