Yeah, yeah, yeah... There seems to be a lot of stuff on the agenda, but among all the cute and fluffy, I decided to fish out some events which though not necessarily widely written about or publicized, might be very well worth your precious time.
1. Visit us at
temporary contemporary (of course - how could you not!) and experience our very temporary and very ephemeral wall drawings and other works.
2. There is a party, and not an ordinary one either.
The Green Gallery (631 E. Center St. 3rd floor) is hosting a drawing/glue party, which will run (roughly): Friday July 27, 6-10pm and Saturday July 28, 1-5pm,
with
Peter Barrickman's work in the main space,
Randy Russell's work will be in the John Riepenhoff Experience and
Kerrie Welsh's video will be in the Video Arcade. We think you might love it!
3.
Eriks Johnson is showing his work at
Rosenblatt Gallery (above Artasia) in the 3rd Ward, right en route all the craziness that is taking place down there (if you choose to participate, that is). Don't miss it! 3rd Ward might be worth a trip just for this show.
4. However, if you do happen to be in the 3rd Ward after all, swing also by
MIAD to see photographs by
Francis Ford in his exhibition titled
Friends, Lovers, & Fellow Travelers.5. At
Dean Jensen Gallery (downtown, Water Street) you can encounter
Cakes, Berries, an Opera House, a Fat Lady & You Name It... a group exhibition featuring works by
Wafaa Bilal, Kyle Fitzpatrick, Gary Komarin and
Drew Malcolm. How can you skip an offering like this? (Seriously, though, there are few such dedicated painters as Kyle and few artists who can bring tradition, history and technology as closely together as Wafaa.)
6. And despite of the fact that the
Haggerty Museum seems perennially out of the way, you simply MUST see new print projects by the Amazing Lady (or Great Dame as Mary Louise called her),
Louise Bourgeois. That's it! So much and so little at the same time.
