A Hot Air Balloon at Arts Sutton!
Installation by Martine Galarneau
January 23 – February 28, 2010
Show opening: 2 pm on Saturday, January 23
Guided Tour with the artist: February 13 at 2 pm
Arts Sutton Gallery is proud to announce the official opening of its first show in 2010, Five Minutes in a Balloon by artist Martine Galarneau.
The grace, slowness and quiet of the hot air balloon contrast sharply with the speed, immediacy and chaos of the world around us. In this installation Galarneau offers us a moment of escape from the pace of our daily lives. “Inspired by Michel de Certeau’s The Practice of Everyday Life, I want to bring in the idea of getting the big picture on everything that takes us over, the "grip of the city." Five Minutes in a Balloon is presented as a type of ritual,” she says.
