I wonder if anyone else in town noticed the art inside some kind of ground floor building (with huge windows) about a 1/2 block north of P on 14th street….It was really fantastic, huge huge heads on their sides in the windows that I couldn’t help but notice, even flying by on my bike. Otherworldly and reminding me of something that I can’t put my finger on. Definitely said something to me about how some art, some public-style art, can be amazingly effective. They’re gone now, though, but apparently the gallery that was in charge of those heads is putting something else in soon. I can’t imagine it’ll be as good, though. My other thought: maybe art (esp dance) in europe is more interesting, more thoughtful and less experimental for the sake of being experimental, and less active for the sake of just being active, b/c the artists are actually able to make a living making art, and therefore tend to be older (rather than dropping out at some point to make real money or give up and have a family)? What a surprise that age would make a difference….
