Showtime

Last night we made the rounds. We stopped in at the Virginia Museum's Studio School Faculty Exhibition which was one of the best ever since the reception offered one of my favorite wines and there were people there I hadn't seen for a long while. Ageless artists like W.A. Wright inspire me. The new director of the VMFA was in attendace which was a nice surprise. SB gave us a lift to the Anderson Gallery exhibition which left me a little cold. I love work that addresses light and I have always enjoyed JRs curatorial work. There just wasn't enough here to hold my attention for very long. Maybe the crowd distracted me? It is worth a second look.

We proceeded to the new Page Bond Gallery as we walked home. It looked like God cut a page out of a photo spread of Chelsea and pasted it onto a map of Richmond's Main St corridor... but it is REAL. KHC was walking in just as we got there. RB was also there but best of all JB of the AIA was there. It was nice catching up with all of them in such an inspired environment. The work was impressive, the space even more so. (a little like having work in the new MOMA?)

KHC gave us a lift home which I appreciate since I have two days of workshops over the weekend. Tis the season.
