Unblurred & undaunted

Kelly and I were cultured ladies this weekend. First, on Friday, we attended Unblurred on Penn Ave. I originally came out with the goal of only seeing Ben Hickling’s stuff and then going home, but we ended up stopping by just about every gallery. We ran into a bunch of people that I actually liked and very few people that I didn’t, so that was awesome. On Saturday, we went to the Warhol to see The End: Analyzing Art in Troubled Times. I’m never disappointed by any of their exhibits, but I was disappointed to be scolded for taking a picture in the Cloud Room, which led me on an obnoxious, “What, are they worried I’ll appropriate Warhol?” rant. I loved the room with “La Petit Morte” in it. There is no picture, because I was already under suspicion. The exhibit runs until May 3rd.

I had no idea Ben was an artist. It’s a lovely surprise to find out how creative your friends are. I look forward to soon having a print of this on my wall:

Here are some other things I liked and want to share from Friday night:

Yesterday, Pete and I adventured to Irwin so I could get some supplies for a project I’ve been meaning to start for over half of a year. I have a backlog of ideas. The more art related events I attend, the more antsy I become to get into something again, so here goes.
