The Mods and Rockers opening last night went great, and so did the performative lectures! THANK YOU THANK YOU to artists and performers Myfanwy Ashmore, Chandra Bulucon, Susan Bustos, Rob Cruickshank, Amos Latteier, Lorna Mills, Tom Moody, John Parker, Andrew J. Paterson and Veronica Verkley for all your excellent, excellent work! The lectures were both fanstastic, and the art show (which stays up now for almost two months) really sings. For Tom and John in New York, who couldn't attend, tons of people came out and the vibe was grand! I was too high strung to take any pictures, but I will post some soonish (no fear) and I'll make a fuller report next week.
Thanks Sally, for making everything go so smoothly- take a bow!
Sideways Circus worked brilliantly with those shallow showcases. (can't go deeper, so go sideways, great solution to a problem space) I also connect "sideways" as wrong or bent (and that always goes over well with me.)
All the pieces were great. Tom Moody and John Parkers piece(s) reminded me somehow of Stuart Davis, a modernist proto-pop painter, who was influenced by music (jazz). i know- a stretch but there ya go!
Thanks for the reports. Sorry I wasn't there. Stuart Davis is one of my artistic heroes, so thanks for the compliment.
Wendy & I loved the jogging Chandra Bulucon & Terraniums and fun.
Thanks Sally et all!
