The first thing that I have to mention about Final Friday this month is that is was freezing. That has nothing to do about art but seriously at one point in time I couldn’t feel my ears or fingers. It was just that cold.
Okay, now on to art topics. This month I went to seven different galleries, The Art of Healing, UpFront Gallery, Prairie Vistas, City Arts, Rock Paper Scissors, Beadazzled, and Mead Street Gallery. At the City Arts Gallery I was blown away but Dale Strattman’s images. There were two that I was slightly confused by and they were both named “Mixer”. One was a photograph of an actual mixer and the other was a photograph of a rearing horse with a plate in front of it. At first when looking at the second image you cannot really understand why it is called “Mixer” but as you continue to look at it more and more and compare it to the other photograph you begin to make a mixer out of the horse and plate. It was a crazy effect which caused me to just stand there and stare at the two images to see if there were any other hidden details. Rock Paper Scissors I wouldn’t really consider an art gallery more like a store, but within that store they had some beautiful glassworks. On a table in the store there were these round, almost snow-globe like object but they all had different colors and objects within them. They were all very beautiful and I was puzzled by how exactly they could have been made. Overall I consider this to be a very successful night even if my fingers and ears almost fell off.
