It's was a little drizzly this Saturday. JoAnn went the the movies with her girl buds. The football games didn't start until 4. Only a suffering Georgia Tech fan could watch them play Carolina in Chapel Hill.
What to do; what to do? - Westside Art Walk. If you want to get straight to it, click here for the Flickr full screen slideshow.
The Sandler Hudson Gallery folks were grabbing big paintings out of the racks, pulling off plastic and bubble wrap, showing art to clients.
Most gallery art just sits there. At Sandler Hudson it was a moving curation.
Paintings stacked on top of each other.
Clients and art walkers moved about to take in the work. I felt like someone was telling me secrets.
This was great fun.
Kiang Gallery featured Hoang Van Bui. He's on the right.
We'd seen Thornton Dial's works using clothing last Thursday. Here are Hoang Van Bui's blue jean pockets:
and a few of his prints.
Bobbe Gillis Gallery featured these works in glass by Paul Bendzunas. I'd be happy to have this whole display. Vases and bowls on clear plinths seem to hover. Many were sold; all were beautiful.
The Emily Amy Gallery is a favorite space. It's designed with circulation and zen views in mind.
Rows of walls give you peaks into the other rooms and let your eye compare the far and near.
These by Zuzka Vaclavik made keep me looking. I want to see them close and far. "...post-graffiti, bio-morphic, automatic gesture..."
Sara Cole's foliage would be a great fabric, screen, and wall paper.
Emily Amy's back alley is always a treat. As with Sandler Hudson that day, this was a peak under the curtain, the curator not in control.
Not all the art is inside. Could this be anything but an Architecture Studio? It's the office of Menefee+Winer on Brady Street.
From a height and a distance you can see the 2 yellow ears:
Here is the slideshow with more pictures. It's better big.
Thanks,

Great Pictures Terry! I really wanted to go to this, but I had to work all day Saturday :( Thank you for the tour! Don't you just love the Sandler Hudson gallery?
ReplyDeleteTHis is great- thank you!! I REALLY need to head over to Emily Amy. Also, love the glass vases.
ReplyDeleteThank you Terry, as always, for your great love of the arts, and for sharing so wonderfully.
ReplyDeleteEverything looks so neat..I wish I was in town for it!
ReplyDeleteTerry, you tell such a good story with your pictures. I especially liked looking at the woman who was contemplating a painting, her body language spoke volumes especially in relation to the art and the people around her.
ReplyDeleteThis is the stuff artist like to see.
Thanks
