Into this cosmic slop of a melting pot we wade, having noticed the utter lack of erudite commentary on the bustling arts scene of our fair county. In this vein we desire to highlight fashion, art, and architectural trends that may ordinarily be covered with only two or three lines in our local papers, or that may be ignored altogether.
Viewed through the lens of someone relatively new to the local area, (having relocated here 5 years ago), I hope that my discussions will attract attention to the wide variety of artistic and architectural flourishes that we dwell among. I plan to cover the totally overlooked unconventional and avant-garde scenes to the extent they exist, with a special emphasis on performance and guerrilla art, seeking out and championing absurdism in our daily lives. Routine exhibition openings with the usual wine and cheese, as we know, grow stale.
In contributing to the arts and architectural highlights of FAD Palm Beach, I am dedicated to the mission of installation artist Allan Kaprow, who declared “The line between art and life should be kept as fluid, and perhaps indistinct, as possible.”
