Art Prize Chat
Have you been out to wander ArtPrize yet? Do you have any favorites? ARe you voting this year?
I went for 7 hours on Friday and still don't have a favorite, or anything that really jumped out at me as a winner. I couldn't get voting to work on my phone so I'll have to manually enter all the numbers on my desktop. Last year I didn't vote at all, but I wanted to be a part of things this year even if I don't get to see much more than I have already.
Re: Art Prize Chat
We wandered for a bit this afternoon with the ILs. I really liked the B&W photos of Detroit on the 2nd floor of DeVos Place; being from there originally, they kind of struck a chord with me.

We had to go to the County Clerk's office on Thursday, so I've seen the giant red paperclips and the domes made of t-shirts. Both were interesting, but not vote worthy.
I'd like to see more, but not sure how to pull if off with a 3 month old and I'm not crazy about crowds downtown.

We went on Saturday and it was PACKED! I LOVED the crayon one at JWMarriott! That was a project that a bunch of school kids did! So cool!!!! There's also a HUGE drawing (size of Open Water) at the Art Museum on the second floor of a cavalry form years past. Looks like a photo until you get up close and see it's a drawing. Did the whole thing cross-hatch, not shading. Must have taken forever! There's also another neat one in the GRAM called (I think) salt and earth - there's a pile of sand on the floor and the artist used red clay powder to draw a self portrait on the sand. Amazing! It's in a little room there and you have to wait in line, but it goes pretty quickly. I wanted to go see more, but it was so busy and trying to push a stroller around was not easy. Also it was chilly and I was tired. Hopefully we can go down another day. First round of voting is through this Wednesday.
The crayons at the Marriott were cool. Thinking back, I do remember than I liked the NYC subway "photograph" made entirely out of duct tape. That's at the Women's Club in the basement.
Someone sent me a link today to one about kids with disabilities and looking beyond the surface and at who they really are/how they live their lives. I need to go find that one.
