Street Art Inside
January 12, 2007

We made it to the She One thing at the Union Works tonight. I got some surprisingly good photos, seeing as the flash on my camera seems to have given up the ghost altogether. I ended up using my phone, and then didn't use the flash on that anyway! Definitely need a new camera though.

It was pretty cold in what is, to all intents and purposes, a demolition site [as of tomorrow]. The wind whistled through the place and there were a few large puddles. But the low, mostly red, lighting added to the atmosphere and the building almost overshadowed the work.

Not having seen any of She One's work before I was expecting more textually based work than the Japanese feel of the strokes here. Only a few pieces really worked with the building, rather than just being housed there and most of of the exhibit would really be better suited to the gallery than the street, in my opinion. But I guess this way the two meet halfway.

Still... it'll be a shame to lose some of the pieces, especially the triptych on "found" pieces of metal and the [what I imagine is a larger piece of cut up] paper pieces. But if you don't go tomorrow, you've missed 'em!
