Jen Graves Hates Art? Pshaw!
Tomorrow night, Stranger visual art editor and critic (and best friend to Regina Hackett!) Jen Graves is holding forth on art she loves in a panel discussion called “Seen Any Great Shows Lately?” The panelists to her left and right will be snappily dressed mo-fo, onetime Stranger critic, and current Western Bridge curator extraordinaire Eric Fredericksen; the airplane-minded artist Fred Birchman; and Platform Gallery’s awesomely named Dirk Park (sounds like a civic pornstar or something, doesn’t it?).
“Each of the panelists will discuss for ten minutes several of the most remarkable and memorable exhibitions they have seen, either recently or during their career,” according to an announcement. “Visuals will accompany some of the descriptions. The remaining portion of the panel discussion will be devoted to interpanel dialogue and comments from the audience.” Beth Sellars, of Suyama Space, moderates. This happens at Francine Seders Gallery, 6701 Greenwood Avenue N, 782-0355, 6 pm.
[For what it’s worth, “interpanel” is not in the dictionary.]
Wouldn't "intrapanel" make more sense anyway? If it's really an interpanel dialogue, where would the other panel or panels come from? Would they also be art panels, or might there be a discussion between the art panel and a panel of ethnobotanists? I'm probably going to go to this; I hope that the interpanel dialogue resembles Family Fued.
