Ghada Amer and Joan Gaustad at Try-Me

Our trip to Try-Me gallery was a pleasure. I had the opportunity to indulge in some great art and conversation. The curator was exceptionally informative and friendly. One of our discussions had to do with the placement of these two pieces which hung opposite one another with a large David Schnell painting in between. The placement seemed to me a curatorial success. The Schnell piece was a large visual draw but in no way detracted from these pieces. Gaustad's and Amer's work complimented one another in the use of line, color and figure ground relationships. They were most interesting in the gallery and I wonder if they would have still been as attractive if not placed so well in the space.
