The Art Gallery

Even though we are experiencing a huge cold snap, I felt like I had been cooped up far too long to stay in. And besides, I wanted to go see the Ansel Adams/Alfred Eisenstaedt photography exhibit at the AGO before it closed.

So even though I was still kinda weak, I ventured out with a buddy, to rejoin the "outside world".

The exhibit was amazing. I'm totally in awe of both photographers' skill and work and I'm glad I didn't miss it. It inspires me to shoot more black & white and just generally, enjoy myself, and create something.

Outside of the feature exhibit, my buddy and I highly enjoyed this piece by Julian Opie, titled, "This is Shahnoza". (It's the piece on the wall. It stretched along the entire expanse of the room housing the Henry Moore sculptures.)


A highly provative piece, made sanitary by the usage of outline, it was uber-cool. We wished the gallery would commission prints of this piece because it'd probably make cool wall art for a bachelor pad. (Not mine, but my buddy's, of course) All in all it's been far too long since I visited the AGO, and I hope to continue my excursions to these types exhibits on a more regular basis.
