Thank you for everyone that attended the “Anxiety Dreams” opening friday night. It was very successful and so crowded that you could barely walk through the gallery rooms. I had over 30 close friends and acquaintances attend who I had invited personally. Multiply that number by all the other artist’s friends and you get a tons of people.
Plus, the “Bitter Fruits” opening was going on at the same time and there were 80 artists showing work. I think that it would have worked better to have had the openings on separate nights. It was so crowded and so many people to say hello to that it was pretty much impossible to have a conversation about my work. I was so busy meeting and greeting that I couldn’t take the time to go over to my work with individual people and have a real discussion. I also wasn’t able to meet too many of the artists sine they were so busy meeting and greeting everyone around them as well. So I was a bit disappointed in that aspect. But I had a great time and it is exciting to see so many people show up for the openings.
I only have a few photographs that were taken so far. I know some friends were busy with taking pictures and hope they ended up with better ones than I did. I actually just gave my digital camera to my roommate before we headed out to the opening. I asked him if he would take some photos of my work, of myself, and friends whenever he had the chance. I usually bring the camera, but am always too busy talking to people to be able to take photos. We actually had to wait until the very end of the night to take the photos of my work because it was too crowded to get any good shots.
If you didn’t get the chance to come to the opening. You can still view my artwork as well as all the other artwork in the exhibit for “Anxiety Dreams” at the Q.arma building in Altered Esthetics Gallery until February 28th, 2008. Please stop by if you have the time.
