First Friday 2/6
The gallery that really stood out to me was the Ghost Print Gallery. It was the only one I could stand being in for any period of time longer than 5 minutes, the main reason for this was the art. Guest curator Brian Hubble had some amazingly detailed graphite works that he made on antique paper. They were a very interesting fusion of classic (medium) with modern (subject matter). Though I wouldn't call them groundbreaking by any means, they were still quite interesting and breath taking. The rest of FF wasn't really as interesting as that gallery, at least that month.

I found Ms. Pearlstien's work to be quite interesting, though not something I would actively seek out. I have an appreciation for performance art pieces but they are not really something that I'd surround myself with, more over, it's a nice change of pace from the constantly motionless work I see online or in galleries. In that sense, I can appreciate where such works help the viewers maintain that life and art are not stagnant but a force that continues to move and evolve.
