here are some more installation shots from the opening afternoon, courtesy of my friend dave. it was actually quite a lovely opening. someone removed their shoes. someone told me that they felt they were "connecting with G-d". someone felt that it was a sacred space. someone wanted to be careful they weren't intruding on something spiritual. several people had to get past the fact that an exhibition could be in the dark and on the floor, never mind that the work needed to be touched and opened. no one spent less than 15 or 20 minutes, and several spent considerably more time than that with the work. i realized after an hour or so that i had forgotten to play any music. other than sigur ros' ( ), i'm not sure that anything could have been better than the hush in the space...
