Supposed Stalactites (Purple and Green Pendants), 2008
Installation detail, paper, dimensions variable
Last week MyManHenri invited me to a Redbull Art Event opening here in Toronto.
The installations were thoughtful and detailed. The Supposed Stalactites (pic above) was the most eye-catching installation. Each piece of paper was carved to create a layer. It was quite impressive. (Not to diminish the work put into this brightly-colored creation but it kinda reminded me of a super-impressive stack of colored post-its.)
Anyhow, The night went on while I sipped wine and we chatted about our latest escapades and future endeavours (both thrilling and disappointing).
I tried to dodge a loud, sometimes irritating "friend" (and failed - UGH!) - got trapped in a useless conversation that just refused to end. (Until I pretended to "urgently" run to the ladies room - where i checked my hair and sent a few bbms before returning to the event area)
I met a few cute guys but quickly discovered that Henri is not the greatest wingman and that the introductions were as far as the conversations would go.
I roamed around for a while pausing at the installations - hoping to appear pensive and intrigued - but really scoping people out and inching back to the bar.
The evening dragged a bit and as I prepared to leave and say my goodbyes I met a girl who was obviously craving attention and was excited by saying obnoxious - offensive things like "black people are lazy!" and when I looked at her with annoyance she exclaimed "I'm super racist!"
Honestly, I'm not sure what kind of reaction she was hoping to get from me. So I nodded and walked away!
Lovely evening.
merci mon cherie Henri
