Dale Chihuly

So, this past week and pretty much the month leading up to this week the exciting metropolis of Boston has been filled with one name, CHIHULY.

The MUSEUM OF FINE ART aka the MFA has been advertising the hell out of Chihuly like it is the only  thing to have happened to the metro area in years. Well, that's because it is the biggest thing to happen to Boston in a LONG WHILE.

Boston is not exactly on the art map of places that people should visit before they die, but the exhibit 'Through the Looking Glass' by Dale Chihuly is exciting. I got the idea from a woman exclaiming 'I could just die now.'


So much so that the people/ audience/ gawkers are actually reading the description boards of what the artist has to say about each piece.

The eye-patched Chihuly who is called one of the greatest glass artists since Tiffany, you know the blue boxes that women ooze over come holidays or important things like marriage, or the Jersey Shore. If Tiffany only knew.

Dale Chihuly 'Scarlet Icicle Chandelier' 2011

 This very cool chandelier uses the lighting in the room to create amazing shadows that bounce off the walls and have tourists dieing to capture it.

Also, before you become completely mesmerized by the amazing photos (see above ) Chihuly either really likes Passion Pit or the MFA took the initiative to have a video backed by what they consider a popular artist.  //www.mfa.org/chihuly-music/

WARPAINT

 


Warpaint a band that was born in LA which consists of four females who will rock your socks off. I went to the show on Tuesday 03.29.11 at Paradise in Boston.

There was a sea of people waiting for the band to come on stage. The most surprising aspect of this show was the generation gap. The mix of teeny hipsters drinking sodas and the silver foxes drinking wine was truly something different.

I unlike many like to stand up in the mezzanine by the sound mixers and the electrical technicians. I like to see the communications between the artist. I feel its better than standing by their feet and voyeuristiclly staring at them for more than an hour.

During the show the amount of swaying and WOOING was very surprising, I would never think to WOO at this kind of music. But other than that, what a magical show.

WARPAINT's playing is soo dreamy.

I think that it was appropriate to cover them this week because when everyone asks them, "Well, what is your sound?" They respond with, "I don't know."

They play very well and they are so raw cannot describe their own presence.

The Boston Globe's article was ehhh ummm...alright. I didn't think that the tiny blurb was sufficient enough...
