Garden Of The Gods

I don’t like thinking about kids trying to knockout randomly chosen strangers with one punch (the Syracuse police chief described it as something out of “A Clockwork Orange”) or vandals spray painting one hundred year old saguaros in the Arizona desert and posting photos of their work on social media sites. Or how about that guy that shot up rock formations in the National Natural Landmark “Garden of the Gods” in Colorado Springs? But that’s what I get for reading the paper.

The Center at High Falls had an opening for their last show over the weekend. As usual the walls are jam packed in a democratic display of freedom. Sally and Roy have been perfect hosts here for many years but I have always found it hard to look at work in this hodge-podge of a space. It could be that the spectacular view of the falls from windows on the stone walls trumps anything on the walls. We would all be better off if the City opened a proper gallery space downtown with white walls and lighting in one its many empty buildings.
