This weekend was crazy – with openings at Springsteen, Lil’ Gallery, Penthouse, Guest Spot, Fleckenstein, two at Current, and the Prints and Multiples Fair with additional programming all weekend long, it was difficult to decide where to go and how to fit it all in. As usual, Bmoreart contributors were there to document the good stuff.

Lu: Springsteen’s SPF opening was a great way to start an event-filled weekend. It makes perfect sense for the gallery to channel its beckoning bright white glow into exposing the light sensitive works of Steven Riddle and Val Karuskevich. Go soon so you can visit (at least) twice.

Jim Condron and Dean Kessmann Scavenge the Mundane for Lyrical Moments
The poet William Carlos Williams proposes that an artist show, not tell, the meaning of things, and between Jim Condron’s gathering and Dean Kessmann’s documentation of the everyday object or scene we must assume they follow this call.
