We're going to keep adding on to the event attendance list this week. First and for most: Final Friday. While I attended Shiftspace, Commerce Street, and a few other gallerys, "For Example" really stuck out to me. Maybe it was because I knew most of the artists featured, maybe it was because of the wide variety, maybe it was because they had the best food. Either way, I really enjoyed seeing what the grad students who had taught a few of my classes were capable of. I couldn't believe how easy it was to tell who did what, even before looking at the name plate. Just goes to show that art really is an extention of the soul.
Second, but not lesser in any way, was Mr. Mel Chin. From a lovely ballad at the beginning of the lecture to his very sincere and deep views on what art is and can be, Mel Chin really opened my eyes to what art is about in today's world. His amount of research and dedication to his pieces was absolutely astounding, but I feel that his general light-hearted demeanour and humor was what made him a truly memorable character.
