Coming up: meeting the guys behind 101


Well, introducing myself to Sloan Schaeffer and Adam Wolfson, masterminds behind such a gorgeous space -I'm talking about 101/Exhibit, OF COURSE- turned out to be a lot easier and far more interesting than I could have thought. Why? beacuse they took the time to sit down and talk with me about about the gallery, the Design District, the artists they work with... and thanks to a most useful iphone app I got it all recorded, so bear with me for a few days until I post a great half-hour talk with a couple of young, cool and low-key friends.
Meanwhile I advise to go check out the show they have put on for Curtis Lafollette's work. Outstansing! I'm talking about a museum-quality exhibition where a vast array of the most surprising artifacts are beautifully displayed for the eye to feast upon.
It is always a challenge displaying objects in such a manner since the mere fact of them being safeguarded by glass cabinets can most certainly be a turnoff. Yet there is something utterly friendly in Lafollette's exhibition; a silent communion between eye and object, intelect and function... Need I say more?
