The Galatea Glance event occurred on Friday, July 19 at the
Cleveland Sculpture Center. Over 100
people participated in this project, many becoming engaged in conversation provoked
by the work and deciding to stay for most of the evening. I was enthused by the willingness of many to
decipher the interaction and draw parallels to other situations, both in the
art world and out.
Some of the feelings expressed included: surprise, shock,
delight, titillation, embarrassment, uncertainty, discomfort, anticipation and
adventure.
I wish to thank Galatea for her honest and friendly presence that
instilled a sense of calm in all present.
To everyone who attended, thank you for co-creating this piece; without
you, there is no Engagement Art!
