| The Space Gallery's Free for All exhibition Feb1 - March 3rd |
Often I recount on the fact that as a resident of southern Maine I feel fortunate to have the SPACE GALLERY in my life. Space is truly adventurous in the world of cutting edge art & ideas. Right next door is the Maine College of Art and they give the Space Cadets a serious run for their money when it comes to that bleeding edge, but time after time Space goes above and beyond imagination with fresh innovative takes on visual art, spoken art & music art plus any number of hybrid combination of these disciplines. Space is supported & sponsored by a diverse bunch of advocate groups,and buiness' with the Andy Warhol foundation being one of the more recognizable, that said they give the Space Gallery a huge amount lot of room for artistic interpretation.
The current show is call “FREE FOR ALL” and is an unjuried show that allow any and all artists to submit a single piece for display and sale or not for sale. It’s a fantastic forum for young artists and experienced artists. Proficient Oil painters hanging side by side with some of the most experimental works imaginable. Now one of my favorite pieces of the exhibit Imagination played a huge roll. The piece was called “cotton candy” what originally looks like a old black & white photograph of a turn of the century carnival cotton candy vendor, the soft hazy focus indicative of the pictoralist photographers of that time actually is a staged model, in miniature, photographed in a macro mode it’s a classic representation worthy of a Hollywood movie set. Yes it’s right here in Maine and it’s only one of over 200 works! This is the kind of show if you think you can paint or sculp you immediately say I can do better than that! Perhaps you could, you'll get a chance next year ... Do this show with friends and have a hoot with it be the art critic and rip a part the pieces you think are weak and praise the pieces with great imagination. It's my guarantee you'll see at least one you love, one you hate, several that leave you emotionless and one you'll say I can do that! So bring your best attitude and let your mind be free there ‘s plenty of art to spark your imagination and as mentioned it’s for sale and there are values to be had…
The Space Gallery is open Wed - Sat 12-6pm and during special shows. Why go see the Free for all at the Space Gallery?
