Afternotes

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!
