Start this way

Start this way. Let the art be buck naked. No artsy jargon. No high falutin language. No text panels. No reviews. No art criticism. No historical context. Just buck naked. Just gut reaction. You can be naked, too. Of prejudice, of expectations, of misconceptions, of feeling dumb. That makes the whole encounter intimate.

Let the art work try to seduce you. To insinuate itself into your brain and eye. Look at its flesh, its curves and its muscle. Don’t let it get dressed up too soon with all the fancy this and that.


If you’re going to love it, love it just as it is. If you’re going to live with it, keep the conversations going.
