In my last Friday Fragment post I offered up just one picture from our visit to the Art Prize in Grand Rapids, MI. It's difficult to determine which pictures to post. Art Prize is a big big free art contest. (more info at artprize.org) This is the second year we have explored it. One of the rules require all entries to be new, so you know you will be seeing art you have not seen yet.
Just now, when I went over to collect the Art Prize link I learned that the 2013 winner is this quilt:
This sculpture was in the top ten. It had water flowing out of the bodies.
After we parked (compared to Chicago this parking is easy and inexpensive) I noticed even the stairwell on the parking garage was involved.
If I were a giant, I could sit anywhere and fish.
At their city art museum (of course the art museum is one of the venues) we attended (thanks to my wife's connections) a nice reception (free drinks and appetizers). There was this large acrylic sculpture titled "Grand" which is the name of the river flowing through Grand Rapids.
After I snapped (do you still "snap" pictures on smartphone or is it touched?) this picture and seeing the people walking just beyond the piece, a flash of an idea shot off in my brain. I was surprised my wife played along and helped. (note this was BEFORE the drinks)
