Seen and liked: Plamen Veltchev and Alison Stigora at LG Tripp

On our walking tour yesterday, before all the shows change over, we stopped by LG Tripp. The show features two versions of aggressive by Plamen Veltchev and Alison Stigora. Veltchev's feature sharp machine made objects while Stigora's are made of ominous yet less threatening wood.

The huge installation in the back room will surprise you. Go and experience this show before it closes. We'd love to know what you think.

You won't come out of this show without an opinion.

January 21 – February 26, 2011

Seen and liked: Drew Zimmerman at Muse Gallery

We stopped by Muse Gallery yesterday and found a surprising array of paper mache. A wonderful experience. We're so sorry that we didn't pay attention sooner so we might have seen the puppet films.

If you get a chance stop by to see the show. It's worth the trip. We took a few snaps to share with you.
