Yesterday, my family and I made it out to see the TAC Annual Members Show at the Hardesty Arts gallery. This is my absolute favorite exhibition space in town. There were COVID precautions in place, including limiting the number of people there at a time. Interior Frequencies was the only mosaic in the show, but it still had a very good spot. I’m happy about that.
The gallery did a really interesting thing to help educate and engage the audience. They put out a basket of tiny pompoms of different colors. Each color represented a metric by which art is judged (see below). Gallery goers are invited to apply these metrics. Vials are installed next to some of the artworks to collect the pompoms as people judge the works by the color-coded metric.
I don’t know what process was used to select which works would be featured for this, but mine is one of them and has already earned plenty of pompoms. I think it’s a great idea and my family and I participated in this exercise ourselves.
Here are some highlights of the show. Enjoy!
