Despite not being a fan of Sol Lewitt‘s works — Cleve Gray is more my speed — I can’t think of a more appropriate place within the walls of the Wadsworth Atheneum for the monthly First Thursday cocktail event to be held in view of. “Wall Drawing #1131, Whirls and Twirls” is a visual echo of the frenetic chattering that characterizes gatherings of artists and art aficionados. There will be an interactive art activity inspired by this mural; this will involve t-shirts and movement, and will be both filmed and photographed.
Other Art After Hours activities include music by The Bus Drivers and an outdoor screening of Running Fence, if the weather permits.
Art After Hours begins at 5pm on Thursday, September 3rd.
