The Styrous® Viewfinder: Rachel LaPell ArtTalk

August 11, 2019

The Gray Loft Gallery ended the exhibition, Summer Salon, with the usual bang at the gallery's closing reception for the show, (links below).

Dick Winter came through once again when he poured the special wine created at the Alameda based Rock Wall Wine Company.

Leslie Frierman Grunditz showed and explained to me the fascinating signifiers present in her & her husband, Ake's "sculpture"/installation piece. They both decided they needed to document the history behind the piece; I think it's a fantastic idea. Go for it Kids!

Artist Talk

photos by Styrous®

Rachel LaPell presented her ArtTalk, an interactive performance, during the closing of the exhibition Summer Salon at the Gray Loft Gallery (links below). In her "Talk" she ruminated on the work in the show, not in formal artistic or technical references, but how they might strike someone emotionally, interact socially or change one's outlook on the world; there was humor, pathos and truth in her observations.

Near the end of her ArtTalk she invited members of the audience to throw out words referencing the works in question on which she then spoke extemporaneously with hilarious results. It was great fun.
