Do you ever look at someone and say to yourself "What were they thinking with that outfit, hat, makeup etc...?" All you caddy homosexuals have, admit it! After today, instead of asking that question I'm going to look deeper at that person. Who are they? Where do they come from? Where have they been and where are they going? What are their life experiences? What has caused this "Gap Between Intention & Effect"?
My revelation has come since attending a pre-opening of the Walker Art Center's new exhibit Diane Arbus Revelations running June 17 - September 10.
"Diane Arbus (1923 – 1971) found most of her subjects in New York City and its environs during the 1950s and 1960s. Her portraits of couples, children, carnival performers, nudists, middle-class families, transvestites, people on the street, zealots, eccentrics, and celebrities explore the relationship between appearance and identity, illusion and belief, theater and reality." -SFMOMA
Her photography is all in black & white. Her photos thought provoking. Her subjects straight from life! The Walker Art Center's exhibit is the largest exhibit of Diane Arbus's work assembled with 3 sections of archival images from the artist's personal estate. So this exibit is a must see if you are remotely interested in photography, post-war america, New York City, portraiture, people, families, transvestites, S&M, homosexuals, poor, middle-class, bourgeois, burlesque or simply American Rites, Manners & Customs (Diane's 1963 Guggenheim grant in which she she sought to depict a range of social ceremonies, including beauty pageants, games and competitions, costumes, parties, and the like. Arbus called these ceremonies "our symptoms and our moments. I want to save them, for what is ceremonious and curious and commonplace will be legendary"!

What a big event coming up on Sunday for Sir Tyrone Guthrie (and no he's not called SIR because he's a leather daddy and the event I speak of isn't the annual twin cities gay pride parade)! 
I'm talking about the Grand Opening events at the new Guthrie Theatre. The events begin at noon and go all the way through to 2am with a dance party (DJ might even be DJ Joe Dowling)! The Guthrie is also a wonderful place to grab a quick bite to eat or even a cocktail at one of it's bars. And, no trip to the new Guthrie would be complete without a walk out onto the phallic overlook!
