The Art-Walk in the Arts Colony gives a "one-stop-shop" for a number of interesting aspects of the art community. You can see lots of new works, often talk to artists, talk to fellow-viewers about their respective perceptions, take pictures of favorite works (usually--if in doubt, ask), and so on.
The "Second Saturday" and End-of-Month events at the Arts Colony fit this bill admirably. So I would like everyone to attend the January 30 (corrected date!) Arts Colony Event. See the Events Website here.
An art-walk is just a walk from one art opening to another. It's leisurely and spread out in time and over several blocks (in the vicinity of 2nd and Main in Pomona). So don't feel pressed. Enjoy yourself. Move at your own pace from gallery to gallery. Talk to people. Make notes. Take pictures (or videos, even). Then think about (and address) these questions:
See if you can play the "game." What galleries are "hot"? What works? Can you identify what makes what what? Reflect on that interview with the artist. How does this help in understanding art?Are there general criteria here? Taste-sets? Is there intra-subjective agreement?Post some of the pictures of art on your Blog. Label them. Comment on them. (See some examples from the London Quarter.) Due by Thursday of the 6th week. [See next post for further details.]
