Head in the Clouds

Every cloud has a silver lining?

























Yesterday, I experienced Andy Warhol's Silver Clouds exhibit at the Art Gallery of Alberta. It feels a little odd, a little off balance. Okay. Possibly a little drunk. More remarkable though was watching strangers interact with the clouds and with each other in the exhibit.

It's kind of impossible not to smile.

Why? Two reasons:
1. It's a little otherworldly.
2. Parents were yelling at their ever-increasingly hyperactive kids.

That Warhol. I think he had quite a sense of humour.

Are you sure those aren't simply wine box foil bags filled with helium? It would explain the drunk vibe.

Andy Warhol's stuff reminds me of "shopping" at T.J. Maxx.

95% of the stuff, I wouldn't be caught dead in but the other 5% is kinda cool.

The whole reason Andy got famous in the first place was that everyone was in Studio 54 and purple haze phase. I would love to have been the one drinking the wine for the art. ;~)

He either had quite a sense of humor or he was tripping for most of his life. Hmm wonder what one it was?
