We're Launched! And Bill Henson is (still) at the Opera.
Well hello, everyone, so nice to see you here! This is our launch day, and we’re excited. I thought I would post my favorite pictures to commemorate the occasion.
They are from Bill Henson’s Paris Opera series, and I think they are spectacular. The way Henson talks about the work also makes me reflect on what we’re trying to accomplish here, all gathered together….. hmm, see what you think.
Henson says:
“What I was interested in terms of Paris Opera series was that whole strange business of finding oneself with a whole lot of other people gathered in a darkened space, such as the opera, awaiting some special event. There is something quite magical about it. I’ve always found that people sitting in the dark just waiting for something is the most haunting sort of experience. It seemed to me it was a common experience, a universal thing that everyone feels, really, at some point or another.”
Thanks so much for joining us, I hope we will make beeyutiful music together.
