anybody go to art galleries?
There's a TON of them by my office and I always say that I want to go check them out, but I always feel like an idiot so I never go.
I've never been to a gallery before but I feel like I'm really missing out on something cool.
Re: anybody go to art galleries?
hmm, if you've never been to an art gallery it might be helpful to go to one of the main art museums in the city. Get a feel for what its like to "walk around and look at art". Then when you go into a smaller gallery, you don't feel completely lost or out of place - but definitely check them out!! sometimes it only takes a few minutes to go through it and you can get a completely new perspective. Always check out the artist information (usually at the receptionist desk or by the front) - this will give you more insight on the artist's idea, purpose, thoughts on what you would be looking at.
have fun!!
hmmm... maybe you're right Liza, maybe some place bigger might be better for me to get comfortable.
adozenroses - I'd love to meet up sometime and check out a gallery.
I'd say head on in. I am usually directed by my sister who's familiar with the general NYC art scene, but DH and I will wander in and out now and again. Time Out NY lists current shows at galleries around town if you want to look for something specific. And I think the general "rule" is that if you hit a rate of 1 out of 4--meaning 3 in which you politely look at the works and then leave asking yourself: what the hell was that?--you're having a good day. (And that's not just my untrained eye, my sister admits to as much; the great thing about NY are all the opportunities to see art, but pleantitude does not necessarily mean it's all great.)
Enjoy.
