Legibility vs. Sweat
Aah Semantics and Malapropisms...As the "Lyrics and Dialogue" exhibit featuring ARTpage comes to a close, I mull over various thoughts that pertain to the concept.
Someone was confused about my sign-in sheet because of the line "Legibility ensures your entry in the world of art communication".
"Ppssh - what's That supposed to mean?", they scowled.
"Oh, just write clearly that's all".
"Oh I thought you were doing background checks on people to make sure they are worthy of receiving information."
OK chip-on-shoulder-lady.
I thought how the Heck did she think that? And I realized later she must have misread it and thought it said "Eligibility ensures your entry in the world of art communication". Like I always say, "People are weird".
Well, I guess writing PLEASE PRINT would be clearer...but what fun is that.
Besides it still means nothing.
The way people make letters and numbers - things look like other things all the time.
Anyway, some favorites in this show and the dialogues surrounding them have been(sub-note: a common response in general from viewers is to point at art and say, "That's great"):
The back of the cover art for ARtpage which was used for the inside of the magazine. Amazing how her mind works to do all that work on the back of a piece too. Does she ever make art that looks like the back of this piece but on the front.
"Bonnie Brae All Stars" by Tony Malone and "Cody" by Angeles Terrazas. I did not know that you could buy heroin on that corner - I live up the street from there. Is there really heroin in there? Is Cody the real name of this guy? Who is he? When were these taken (we think the 80's during the 50's revival),I love the glisten on his skin for the sweaty ones.
Mixed media pieces by Nicole S. I love the phrases. They are such a great price (68), I will get 3 and give them as gifts. I love the designs. I can really relate to what she is saying. I need this one. So and so would like these.
"After Irene" by Cathy Stone. Just amazement.
