Subscribe to Le Petit Salon by EmailNo question about it, we were not A-lone... there was a presence in the room, formally known as The Other!
...The synergy, the ambiance, the knowledge, the FLOW...it was all there and so was everyone else...together in the moment ideas flashing, laughter booming, and then our Guest Artist speaking about her practice and demonstrating a piece of artwork ....sounds intriguing, you are thinking....demonstrating artwork? Ah, so strange, you say? Wasn't that the perception in Gertrude's Salon? Emerging talent, breaking from tradition, doing weird things with art...being supported by a group of their peers...
The discussion rolled out!
Marlene Dumas, at MoMA...the daughter of a member of the SALON, a well known art critic, interviewed her, it was read and discussed... Koons, Is it Art? (there is always that one), Women artists from the 50's coming out of the shadows into the prominent galleries, at long last ... Hirst, Is it Art (always about him) ... China's long history of artisans... Artists we love...Artists we know...Gossip about ???
Of course, of course...there was more, much, much much much more...
SHE was absolutely positively THERE...
