Pictures from the Fiero art show

[TopNotch]

Last night, some of our club members took part in the opening of a new exhibit at the Beep Beep Art Gallery in Midtown Atlanta. This was a different experience for the club, but it was fun.
The center piece of the exhibit was an actual Fiero, so the artist wanted some more Fieros outside the gallery for opening night.
Here are some pictures I took....

The gallery was a little Midtown hole-in-the-wall.


A closer look


Getting a Fiero inside, and up on rail road ties was quite a feat.


Some Fiero art


Some of the other art


Even the food set out for guests was art.

That's cool, but what was the art part of the Fiero. It didn't look any different.

The Fiero "itself" was the art

I've got a few pics to add also:

Technology as art.....or........art as technology
 


 
A Blast From The Past
 

 
The salad that wouldn't end. We went to dinner around the corner from the gallery and I thought I'd eat something healthy - took 2 days to eat it all. A work of art in itself
 




No art show would be complete, if not at least one taboo had been viaolated:

I found a review of the art show here.

[Raydar]

Is this reviewer someone known to us?
I kind of hope not.

[Donster]

I agree with Steve.
The critic wasn't very kind with his review on the artists, was he?
Just glad he didn't really mention the club member's cars in front of the gallery or even mention the club.
 
Jason (the artist) spoke to me about 3 weeks ago about the show, and by his own admission, stated there were mixed reviews about the show.
Always is that way in the art world.

I agree totally with the comments about the critic.
The critic after all IS the AFTERBIRTH of the art talent.

If you treat Art Critics as you should politicians (they both lie and should be changed as often as diapers for the same reason) then what they are saying is that they really like it but they are not sure why.
Commenting on the odor of creosote is simply NOT becomming of any aspiring critic.

Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder.

[Raydar]

Good. Glad it wasn't just me.

[Fiero GTB]

Remember, "ars gratia artis" (art for the sake of art - ie, not to serve any utilitarian functions, or ideals - such as PLEASING SNOBBY CRITICS!) is the only pure form of art.

And who says a little creosote fumes mixed with a couple glasses of red wine wasn't PLANNED to enhance the overall experience?

Jason Kofke's 1984, the centerpiece of the art show, is for sale on CL:

That was predictable.

I can't believe it has a suicide knob on the steering wheel.  Can't be part of the nostalgia since they were outlawed before '84.  Was gonna suggest it might become the new PurpleHaze until I saw the stick shift.

.....Was gonna suggest it might become the new PurpleHaze until I saw the stick shift..... 

Actually, Shanine & Roger have already come to an agreement with his 88 GT.

Chrome plated plastic hub caps?

Chrome plated plastic hub caps?

They were chrome rims. Nicest part about the car.
