Well.. actually it was First Friday which I think caused a lot of confusion. A whole bunch of people kept asking me if they still had Final Fridays or not.. but anyway. I went to Shiftspace looking for Michael's and Emily's work.. when I couldn't find Michael's and found out they had not placed it up in the show I felt extremely bad for him. Whoever set up the gallery should've informed Michael. At the same time I realize that Monika didn't have much control over it and her explanation in class.. not only worried me but gave me drive. I understand that sometimes a work of mine might not get into a gallery but I also think that if a gallery does not inform the artist it reflects the image of the gallery poorly.
I don't quite understand the performance pieces. I mean they are kind of fun to watch but I feel like I'm watching an old movie.. I think of how people say, "anything can be art." Perhaps it's not my cup of tea.. but it always seems to me that performance art has to be something incredibly weird espcially from what Ann has told me about her class.
My favorite piece there was by Chiyoko Myose titled "when the light appears in their hiding places"It was basically a painting with random blocks painted on it.. I really like the color scheme. The yellow really advanced from the dark background. I also like the fact that these squares weren't perfect.. they were stretch and almost looked like a weaving instead.
I think Mike's piece lacked from my expectation. I think the piece would be a lot more successful with more wheat. And that .. box.. ...........
