Bert Hölldobler and Edward O. Wilson in the rain by Tobias Rehberger

Yesterday, we visited the “Embrace” exhibit at the Denver Art Museum. This piece by Tobias Rehberger was my favorite of the exhibit. Tobias was able to break down the normal rules of not interacting or touching the art. You make your way through this maze of bungee cords to find little pockets or rooms where you can rest and watch others work their way through. It was actually harder than I expected to navigate through the maze.

It was definitely a favorite of the young and the young at heart. There was a line all day to experience it. This photograph only begins to show the line, color and movement of this wonderful piece.

Potato Love

Copyright Jeff Ball 2008

Tonight is the opening reception for one of my favorite art openings, The Potato Show at The Other Side Arts. All of the work in the show is either made with potatoes or are inspired by potatoes. In 2002 , I conceived the show as a fun way to both create art around a common “silly” theme and break down some of the walls between the art world and the public. The artists were challenged to create work with an unusual medium or subject matter and the public felt comfortable with participating as artists and as “consumers” of the work.

This piece was from a series of photographs where I used finger potatoes and various fruits and vegetables to personify the food in a way that may suggest an intimate relationship.
