Tonight we have the opening for Roland Rickett's 'immanent blue'. The gallery never looked or smelled better. The beautiful crescendo and decrescendo of blues, made from indigo the artist cultivated himself, brings life to the gallery walls. Tapestries he dyed with the indigo dangle from the ceiling, wavering in the soft breeze that runs through the gallery every time the door opens.
The Autumn tourist season already started in New Harmony. We hope that each tourist has an experience in the gallery that he or she will remember for years to come, and will want to return to the town because of it. Having memorable installations in the gallery are important in this respect. And often what we find is that artwork that does not cotton to the 'scenic' or the traditionally beautiful will stand out more in one's mind. Good art is a conversation. You go back to it, by remembering it, or by going back to the physical site of the art to see it again. We hope that you will be able to attend the opening tonight, August 22, 2009, at the New Harmony Gallery from 4-7 p.m.
