Art, Art Everywhere
Sep. 19th, 2010 02:19 pmThe title of this entry is a pun on the Samuel Taylor Coleridge line, "Water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink." In some ways, it doesn't really fit the subject matter, because while I am surrounded by art activities this weekend, I can and am encouraged to (metaphorically) drink it all in.
In another way, it's completely appropriate because the reason the water in "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" can't be consumed is because it's salt water ... and salt is the focus for one of the performance artists at the Visualeyez festival. I never did meet the artist, but Cindy Baker, the festival animator, blogged about Randy and her project today. I've been updating my entry about the Visualeyez opening night as I continue to think about the performances I saw, and as Cindy continues to add context and background information.

On Saturday afternoon, I attended an insightful, inspiring talk by photographer Edward Burtynsky. I'll post notes on that when I get a chance.
Meanwhile, I'm going to stop in at another Visualeyez event this afternoon, and catch up on other writing projects tonight.
Art, art everywhere and not enough time to take it all in!
