Comments on: As we’re not thinking we don’t need titles. http://www.artlurker.com/2010/04/as-were-not-thinking-we-dont-need-titles/ A Miami based contemporary art newsletter / blog Tue, 21 May 2013 00:52:09 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: anon http://www.artlurker.com/2010/04/as-were-not-thinking-we-dont-need-titles/comment-page-1/#comment-10091 anon Thu, 22 Apr 2010 20:04:16 +0000 http://www.artlurker.com/?p=4119#comment-10091 I run a gallery here in Miami. One that you'd know. We go back and forth as to whether or not to serve booze and food all the time. It's the usual argument where one person thinks that the art should speak for itself and that we shouldn't have to bribe people into coming in, much like a museum shouldn't have to offer you anything to come and appreciate that which it shows. I can't tell you how many times I watch people walk in, go straight to the bar, get something and leave. It's human behavior not at it's most disgusting but certainly pretty awful. A few select times that we've not served, I've had my own glass of wine and I watch people walk in, search for the bar, not even see one single painting on the wall, walk right towards me and as "where'd you get that." I tell them, "In back" and they apologize because they know it's just plain wrong. It's really quite sickening.... I run a gallery here in Miami. One that you’d know.

It’s really quite sickening….

I'm so glad I decided to spring for the sushi this month and that our efforts didn't go un-noticed... next month maybe we'll continue our upgrade with a bucket of ice so the beers in the fridge don't seem so exclusive...
