Through these Portals Thou Art Judged
The Hallways of the Stutz building provide their own artistic ambiance even without embellishment. Two doors down the judges have conviened to weed out the less worthy.
For the second time in three years Jenni and I assisted Pam Walker in selecting 2D and 3D artworks for Project Excel. The Stutz building top floor is the place where the judgments take place, in a room big enough to have been housed an automobile assembly line several hundred pieces of art were stacked, and displayed. The task was less daunting than last time when there was thousands of pieces, and we had the help of Pam Walkers cousin Chad and his friend whom in my early stages of Alzheimer's I can't recall (I could re-name him but that would be a temporary fix eh?). Once again about 15% of the art was amazing, and the top 4 or 5% as good as about anything I've ever seen in professional shows and galleries. I took a few photos but don't know if I should display any of them here until they have gone to final judging and the awards process in mid April. After the Arts Jenni and I went with Pam to Bazbeaux Pizza on Mass ave. Chad and Jeremy (temp fix) went to other jobs, ones that pay in bartering chits, instead of soul enrichment and fine food. We three PJC, saw LeAnne Bailey, with Ericka and Max at the foodery and exchanged hugs and pleasantries, then we got to catch up with Pammy pam pam for a bitty bit. Then it was back to the life more ordinary and home.
Room with a View.
Looking out from the top floor of building C as the sun sets in the West. 10th St. and the Monorail track point to the IUPUI campus as the town goes to sleep, one wonders what sites these window have looked upon in the last century.
