I’m trying to figure out if the three works on display by three artists have anything in common. Sam Gibbons’ work was cartoonish art that I still contend looks like stoner art that one would find at Spencer’s Gifts or a head shop. It didn’t do much for me. A friend said it was trippy, as opposed to being stoner art. I don’t know what the distinction is, but clearly could not appreciate it as much as he could. There are supposed to be hidden images of sex and violence. I could see these, but I was not sure what the message was.
In the larger gallery was something I would find more interesting, I think, if I could return when there is no deejay cranking out the tunes, as that art came equipped with headphones. Kansara had arranged televisions and film projected onto the walls, and headphones so people could listen to what was being 
said between family members. What was neat about this was that there were different pieces of film run over each other. I wish I had a better way to describe it. Think of double exposure, but with moving pictures instead of just stills. There were also dozens of family photographs on the walls.
My favorite of the three was what was set up in the far gallery area. Choi‘s art was bright, transparent, and open to interpretation (mostly). Some of the pieces looked like they could have been petals, leaves, or bones. One space allowed people to walk through/beneath the art. The shadows on the walls looked like leaves. I was probably attracted to this the most because I do paintings/sculpture involving sheets of plexiglass; I like how bright the colors used can be, but how light and accessible it seems. Canvas seems static, not very interactive.
The blueberry mint martini was interesting– it looked like wheatgrass juice, smelled like blueberries, tasted like mint. A friend said it was a glass of vodka with a single blueberry and mint leaf, oh, and a tiny bit of champagne. Since my shoes were giving me trouble yesterday, I decided to not drink, and had only a sip. Sorry to say, I can’t reach any conclusion on the specialty martini.
There has been a hot dog truck coming to the CCH later in the evening for the past few months. I’m not sure what is up with that, but I do like the collision of high brow/low brow, even if there is meat involved.
