2100° / 451° from Etsuko Ichikawa on Vimeo.
No one else will be there. Most likely. You will have the
gallery to yourself. You can be totally mesmerized by a video of an artist
painting on paper with glass. You will be tempted to touch the art. Especially
if you have a thing for paper and are viewing an exhibit on artists working
with paper. Signs will warn you that the gallery is being video monitored.
Besides you are a respectful young adult with a degree in art history and
plenty of museum volunteer experience. You know not to touch the art. Even when
there is an installation and you are walking under paper just an inch above
your head. And it looks like damn fine paper.
*Note: Paper Unbound at the Wing Luke Museum, about which I
wrote this post, is now closed. But I also highly recommend Future Beauty: 30
Years of Japanese Fashion now on view at the Seattle Art Museum. Oh, and if I
had a travel machine that transported me to museums, I would totally hop in it
to go to Pasión Popular: Spanish and Latin American Folk Art from the Cecere Collection before it closes at the end of the week!
