La Municipal Art Gallery Reception Images

The Reception at the Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery was great!! 3767 people showed up for the reception -it was nice and crowded! I added some images to show the size off the gallery and the amount of people flowing in and out of each of the rooms. The people were just as interesting as the artwork on the walls! I saw all kinds of different cultures, different types of dress, different personality types, people in wheel chairs, in casts, with different types of dogs -yes IN the gallery. My favorite interesting site at the gallery was an old couple. The man was guiding the blind woman- her cane was feeling the room out in front of her - BUT she would still "look" at the artwork! =) The whole mood of the gallery was energetic and exciting!


The first image below is looking into the two rooms that I curated. Three of the awards that were given were pieces that were from the 2 rooms I curated. These other images give you a little idea of the space in the gallery, but do not show 8 more rooms filled with artwork! If your interested in taking a look it will be open till September 27th!! (Info and address below.)

Music

Well.... I had wanted to share some of the music that I like or am listening to as I work. Music is such an important aspect to my mood and inspiration. I like a wide range of music... just about everything ....  well almost- hahaha.  Anyway I had wanted to connect a youtube video but can't seem to figure out why it won't work.... so I am just going to link it for now and figure it out later. =) I won't say who the band is... make you have to go visit the link!

I found them back in 2003 just before they were released in the US. Loved one of their songs and found out it hadn't been released here yet. So I had to wait a month to get the cd-- But it was worth it! Hope you enjoy!

Welded Sculpture Update

I got sooo busy with Magu's exhibition and then with everything else... I just realized that I never showed the finished sculpture work!

I had been taking flat sheets of metal and welding them together to create shapes. I wanted to practice welding to think about some other larger sculpture pieces I want to create that will have metal frames and bases.  -- Here are a few of the finished shapes.

For those of you that haven't been in this gallery - It is really big!
