About every four or five months I like to "do the rounds" in Chelsea to see what the galleries are showing. I hadn't done that since sometime in October so I decided today would be an opportune time.

The last few times it seemed like most spaces were fairly dark and somber. I attributed it to art in a post 9/11 world. However, today a lot of things were very, very bright. Vivid, gaudy colors seem to be "in" this winter. I didn't like much of it. Many things, dare I say, were actually quite garish.

This was probably the brightest installation in any of the places that I went to but, oddly enough, I really like it.
