A small gathering of local artists, scholars and art appreciators showed up for Doina Kraal’s short-lived installation at the Drill Hall last night, at around eight PM. It only opened on Wednesday and closed last night (and my “source” – hee – doesn’t know the title), but I’m so glad I made the effort to visit (thanks, Christo, for the ride!).<\/p>\n
My image, as usual, does no justice. There were basically six cut outs and six slide projections of trees, nearly matched up, and spread spaciously throughout the room. Wind, people, and anything effecting the air made both the suspended projections, and their similarly hung “screens,” move<\/i> ever so slightly. And since I love Elizabeth Ermarth so much, I’ll quote her and say, “I swing therefore I am.”<\/p>\n
