little gallery space.

gee thanks!
that is so sweet of you - of course coming from a sweet girl what else would i expect?
i am excited about it....plus i do feel like there are more people recently appointed with the city who are noticing the influx of galleries and realize that this is the perfect opportunity to make the city integral with what the independent spaces have been cultivating....they would be stupid to not get on board with this phenomenon.
and i would like to think that i grew up in a SMART CITY.

difficult to achieve if too many personal agendas are in the mix - but i will try not to be a pessimist! cynic, but not pessimist. heehee!!

Gee, thanks!
[insert sarcasm in reference to previous blog comment by non-anonymous blog commenter, Carol Es.]

I suppose it is all what you put into it and what you are expecting.

I really don't expect a lot, and my job is really not one that gives me any control or final say in what the city decides to do with itself.

Nor am I going to put myself in a situation where I want my ideas to be what the city decides to do.
I will say this - they Are open to listen to what people want to bring to the situation.

Operative word: BRING

From all of my 39 years here, 21 being an active participant in several aspects of the local artworld from the Inland Empire to Los Angeles proper:

What is going on now in this city is big, changing and important.
If you don't believe that, then it is never going to work.

Everyone is so hard to please and there are so few people actually happy and enjoying themselves these days.
People Love to have a Negative Opinion....I think the whole lot of anyone involved in the arts is opinionated, but come on.
It's as if pointing out the bad things is what gives them credibility.

It is here that I note the Primary Definition of Opinion:
1. A belief or conclusion held with confidence but not substantiated by positive knowledge or proof.

I am over the complaining - and I am totally over the analysis OF change, the problems with so-and-so or such n' such and the unending discourse to point out the things wrong with everything and everybody and how they do this and that.
I'm just not buying it anymore.

And for those of you who know me personally - I now inject my geekdom and sense of humor to you:

Crack that Whip
Give the past the slip...
Go forward, move ahead, try to detect it, it's not too late - to whip it, whip it good.

right on sister. i am over the complaining too. usually the people who complain are people that have no personal power and do nothing to change that within themselves.
