Rather than doing a discussion on a movie or specific artist, I'm going to talk about the art events that I have attended but failed to mention. So.. here we go.
First off, Final Friday back in January. I only took a peek at Commerce Street, but it definitely was enough to inspire me. While a lot of the exhibits featured many of the same pieces from previous months, a few brought in some new work. Fisch Haus has always been one of my favorite places to visit. From $1 sales to contemporary vision, it wasn't surprising to see the laser lights and hear the interesting sounds coming from inside. It definitely left me feeling out of myself. Probably not the best state of mind to drive in, but I think it was worth it.
Second, there was the Art History talk. While I was unable to be there the entire time (I was on duty for that very event back at the Ulrich), I was able to get a good portion of the lectures. It's interesting ot see the side projects that our professors are working on. It's a lot easy to learn from someone who has a passion for what they teach, and their passion really came out during the talk.
Finally, I attended Mike's Twisted Rhythm opening. His speech was very simple and sincere, much like his pieces. I truly enjoy his work; despite their simple structure, his pieces all draw in the audience to view and interact with the piece from all sides. It's not easy to draw in the viewer like that.
