Last night I went to the BLCC to install my outdoor art (after recieving permission) and while we were there looking at the space, it was decided that placing the art up high (after being offered a ladder) would look amazing and be more amazing if I put up some portraits instead of my abstract, chakra art.
The chakra art just didn't seem right for the space, so i contacted the owner of the art studio where I teach to see if she would be willing to let me put the art up at her place...she was completely into it!
So, with a new plan, I went ahead and installed two large portaits outside of the BLCC. People were walking by, smiling, making positive comments, and overall it was a great experience!
Then this morning, I get several long text messages from the owner about how the art is placed up t0o high and he goes on to explain his rent, square footage, his potentially upset landlord, his partner who already tried to get them down, and how I need to get down there ASAP to take down the art.
I must say I am amused at how easily people become offended and stressed out about art...art that is temporary, expected and is removed with water...it's not offensive and it's not rocket science.
What is it with art????
