Galeria Galou
Nov. 14th, 2004 11:47 pmSat.I put on some silly fun dolly things and drove into Williamsburg with B..
Pink pompom booties make one feel quite festive and jumpysquirrel-like.
We walked around a bit looking into all the lil colorful shops- it's refreshing to me to see SO much COLOR about! yay. WIlliamsburg's got this feeling of kids building treehouses- I really love it, raw spaces being converted and just kind of played with.... And you can feel it disappearing too as it gets SO quickly gentrified. There's an oh savor this moment feeling,hold your breath, before the polish gets poured on bigtime and the high end stores come to clean up forever. It's all in flux. Once Williamsburg is completely polished the energy will move elsewhere and so on... Either way it's exciting. My fave was this lil 'mini mall' which was really nothing like that. sort of kids playing mini-mall, throwing paint on grungy interior, lil tables for internet...used bookstore..arcade game..strange sculptures sticking out of the walls.damn why didn't I take pics?? the whole time. sorry. I was spaced, just wandering, drinking in the sites. I bought one treat-some silly teeny sparkle stickers from some cute shop for my fingernails. lil bunnies and pandas and oh come on, how can I resist the saccharine overload.
Eats with B and B's sister Ms.A at Bean. then on to the reception...gallery located in the more nondescript industrial area...just look for the number 237. Lots of my peeps made it out and I love you guys for it.:)
Mouse circumnavigates the kabaa....I mean tondo.;)
And a pleasure to meetcha in person![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
captainbigwig:)!
I had some really great conversations at this reception.
Here I'm talking with Deland Anderson whose work is also in the show. He lives in Alaska and oh how I loved talking with him about topography and place and the Aboriginal Dreamings and language etc etc. GOOD guy. you can tell.Beautiful pieces too.And that's it for pics, sorry guys.
Talked with a whole bunch of other artists from Galou and some guy who owns a gallery down the street, and the curator of his next show...Best part was I didn't feel overly nervous at ALL, I just flowed with it and I spoke my mind without stressing self-consciousness. That's a bit rare, and I hope it'll be less rare from now on. Ok, really too much to tell so I won't even try. Was good overall. Drive back home, let B nap a bit...
