It's an informal tour of the art exhibit, led by someone who put the exhibit together.

Tonight, from 7 - 8:30 pm, I will lead a tour of "Recent Acquisitions." This exhibit features some of the art that we've added to the library's art collection in the past five years.  I'll share some of our history, why we chose the pieces we did, how we organized the exhibit, and what we think about as we build our public art collection. Then I'll open up the talk for questions. Got something you'd like to know more about? Want to hear the story of how a piece came into our collection? Wonder what misfiring synapse made an artist do that? 

I may not know that answer to the last question, but I'll give it a good guess. For me, that's the magic part of art: it's a form of communication, and different people will see different things in every piece.  For istance, the Ken Price ceramic piece, Ming, made a physicist want to bring in his students to talk about the way the black interior works to look like a void. 

Art is a process of discovery.  I love that.
