'For Lack of a Better Word’ is an exhibition of 15 Art Foundation Students and one Art History Senior who challenge the misguided idealism of ‘collaboration’ as originally proposed by their sponsoring faculty. Instead, these artists spontaneously sub-divided into four super-groups and went their own ways. ‘For Lack of a Better Word’ presents the output of these four mini collaboratives. The original premise for the exhibition, ‘Mine versus Yours’ was jettisoned in favor of the hard and fast ambiguity of ‘For Lack of a Better Word.†Come and see the surprising and unexpected results of these artists.
The exhibition opens tonight, Friday December 7th, in the Capital Garage Windows on Broad Street (across from Ukrops).

My second-ish show opened last Friday. Everything Looks Better in Blue is one part of four in For Lack of a Better Word, a group effort by Alyson Aversa, Ada Cooke, me, Nyssa Shaw, and Rachel Starbuck, all part of a VCU art foundations student show blah blah blah. I wish I could get in the space and take pictures of it, but I don't have a key anymore, so what you get are these crummy glass reflections for now.
It's a show about textures, I guess. When everything is a solid color, blue, what stands out? How does blue change the meaning of all these seemingly random objects? Are the objects random?
THE WORLD MAY NEVER KNOW
