Arts A Place to Love: Art Space, Think Tank, Roman Forum
posted by on August 3 at 11:53 AM
In Miami last December, I met a guy handing out cards for a newish organization he’d just started. He was a refugee from a museum (the Denver Art Museum, I believe) who wanted to work somewhere more like a laboratory. So he opened the Belmar Lab just outside Denver.
The Laboratory of Art and Ideas at Belmar (The Lab) is a unique institution that combines elements of a museum, think tank, and public forum. Focused on contemporary art and culture, The Lab offers international art exhibitions, lectures, performances, symposia, and publications. A small organization with a big cultural vision, The Lab offers all audiences the opportunity to engage in both personal reflection and public discussion on contemporary art.
Could be BS, right?
Except check out the swoony lineup this summer. (Instead of standard artist-and-curator lectures, the lab focuses on subjects (subjects like the sort the library means when it asks whether you want to search for a book based on author or subject). Passionate lovers of the subjects, people who know a ton, do presentations together, on the same bill.)

Dude should open a lab in Seattle. I'd go.
Check out denverarts.org for the latest on what's up at the lab. In addition to the lectures you mention above, they also have a gallery space which is currently showing Chinese artist Fang Lijun
