Perhaps there is subtlety there that gets missed in the visual noise of the exhibit space. It may be too that the crowds that were there for the event were oblivious because of the manner in which the event was conducted. That is, they were held back and waiting for the doors to let them (us) in and there was a hurried march into the larger space. Couldn't stop and notice the paintings in the entrance corridor because the larger Sax Gallery was a destination.<br /><br />I myself would not have noticed the paintings had they not been pointed out to me as something that was to be part of the exhibit. This happened both down below and up above where I went to see the "orchestra pit." In reflecting upon your comments, it strikes me that it was like poetry alongside a Transformers Hollywood SFX scene. The juxtaposition was to disparate. Under different circumstances, without the performance, it might produce a different effect were on to re-visit. <br />Ed Newmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12703797864648081829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9146215066182995239.post-30513963833086277262015-10-26T11:59:23.645-05:002015-10-26T11:59:23.645-05:00I actually found the small paintings quite remarka...I actually found the small paintings quite remarkable. The gestures and colors in them act like 2 dimensional "captures" of the various views from the installation. The photos in your essay reinforce that notion when you think of the silver of the sculpture as the white of the paintings and the colored "squiggles" serve the same function as the reflections of the colored rectangles. I believe the paintings provide wonderful visual equivalents of the elements in the installation.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09410507612647082672noreply@blogger.com
