| YU: Let the imagining begin! |
A blank page. A guitar standing in the corner. A rehearsal room. A vast empty gallery space.
Some things take us right to the lip of creation and then give us a little push forward. We can't help it. We start to fill them, use them, in our imaginations at the very least. A great question to ask someone you think you know pretty well: How would you fill that blank page, that empty gallery?
On Friday, I dropped by the old Yale Union Laundry Building where YU, a new contemporary arts organization, makes its home. YU was offering a trip to the past in the form of an exhibition of artifacts from one of its predecessors, the late great Portland Center for the Visual Arts, but I think that was really an indirect way of leading us to the lip of creation of something entirely new.
