I liked what I saw of the show at RoCo and I will go back. Opening night was too distracting to take it in. Amy Casey’s painstakingly executed drawings are a delight to look at. I couldn’t quite figure out Trevor Flynn’s messy community drawings but it was fun to see people drawing on the walls. Spectres of Liberty from Troy have an interesting video in the little circular room. I was wondering if they were the same people that put up the inflated art installation at the Eastman House during Montage 93. Overall though, I couldn’t help but long for a real look at the state of Rochester, instead of the generic “city”. I am amazed at the state it is in and I’m sure I’m not alone. I think it would make a terrific show.
