12/3, Sunday.
Went to SAM to see the new Calder exhibition.
I had one of those hanging decorations based on Alexander Calder's design.
This weekend is free for Bank of America clients. A bit busier than usual.
These don't seem hard to make.
They are all very similar.
I do like the drawing and these 3 small wire figurines (a bird, a rat, a cow).
Another new exhibition (since last month), is the solo exhibition of Portland artist Elizabeth Malaska, the winner of the 2022 Betty Bowen Award, SAM’s annual award honoring a Northwest artist for their original, exceptional, and compelling work. There are 3 large pieces. Pretty bad in my opinion. The theme maybe okay, but the execution is amateurish. I think I can paint better than this. Perspective are off, angles of the body is awkward. Really don't understand how these awards were judged.
