I do try to drag myself from the comfort of my tv occasionally, so there I was on a First Friday. Now that the sun goes down later than the 4:17 of December it’s rather pleasant to be out and about. There was a new show opening and that is catnip to me.

I can’t say I loved this person’s exhibit, but I did like this piece. The exhibit was about colonialism and mostly consisted of re-printed vintage photographs of indigenous workers standing next to European fruit trees. The artist was insulted that the workers were not identified by name, but the trees were. Oh well, that’s the past for you.

This massive bronze is also an idea from the past, but I love the mountain behind this.

This window has a better view of the peak. Some musician was playing a variety of string instruments, that’s why there was a speaker.

The first piece I ever saw by this artist was at my old campus, and I can’t say that I love his work because he makes his people look rather ugly. He chose fiberglass as his medium, so I assume he used a mold and helpers. These larger than life figures are outside on the lawn. I think that they look great against the lighted building as one can’t really see the details. Perhaps that is the secret of this artist’s appeal.
