Artisode; 1.4; A Walk Down Canyon Road (Part 1)

You You Well, I'll never understand it baby There's one of us in my soul Don't know I won't be with you Yeah, I don't really know I'm looking at your window Yeah, I'm drippin' in the wind Who I know is my middle name And here I

go again There's a car outside There's a woman There's a time to stay And there's a time to rock You're gonna be on a real good friend Still at home my way And here I go serious And I hope I see you down the road somewhere And here I go serious And I hope I see you down the most high way Because I hear the highway calling me yeah We're gonna go look at a couple of galleries that you chose Why do you choose these galleries? Well, they're kind of a cross section of the galleries in Santa Fe Kenyan Road is just one of many gallery districts in the city And the four that I've chosen out of the 200 galleries in town One is an

artist known gallery, one's sort of craft gallery One's a western art gallery And one is opening tonight a major exhibition of international realism So it's a cross section that we'll see today And there's a time to rock And there's Kim Hi, good to see you What you're great about this gallery is that there is representational art here Which is one since some other people But then they show really wonderful abstract art too So you can see a lot of different things In the back we'll see some works by one Kelly who is Kim Kelly's husband And their co -owners are the gallery And it's unusual for a gallery to be owned by an artist Some artists own galleries just show that artists work But Kenyan one Show a variety of work And I think a very healthy variety of work We were talking before we came in to artists by things to go over their sofa to look with their living room And my experience is that

collectors don't do that Collectors buy something that fits some sort of aesthetic that they have Usually I can tell when people connect with a piece You know they'll be walking and then all of a sudden they'll stop and linger At a particular piece And then you know that some of them are on a subconscious level And the level is connecting with it And then you'll see their mind come in and try to rationalize Why they like the piece and what it is about it Usually people's connection to artwork I think is a very visceral reaction Something that maybe their mind can explain We're in Jane Sauer's gallery We're talking just a few minutes ago about what it is that she looks for When she brings artists

into her gallery And Jane's another one of us who likes to respond from her gut But maybe she can talk to that I don't bring anything in that doesn't touch me emotionally, psychologically or intellectually Almost everything here has a strong tactile quality to it Jane one of the things you said was that people just commenced a look And I would like to encourage people just to commend a look and not be intimidated And ask questions That is one of the main things that I hope will be imparted to everybody that walks in You are welcome to walk in and no questions are stupid questions They do think most people walking into a gallery do feel that they feel intimidated And they feel that their questions may appear to be really stupid Because they're on a very unknown ground If someone explains what it is to you or what the artist's intention is or how it was made It just opens up in a way that

if you just are looking at it You just don't see it You need some instruction, you need to be led into the painting, into the artwork to understand it better And then it opens doors you
