OUT : SALON @ ART SNACK

Previously exclusive to artists and industry professionals, the event centered around critical art discussion was open to the public for the first time last night! Being immersed in each emerging artists' processes gave insight into genuine sentiments translated through the works whether it is professional, for a specific audience or purely self indulgent. It's fascinating how learning the reasoning behind the artists' actions also influences the way you appreciate a work! There was also a heated moment or two between creator and curator...we love drama mwahah.

All in all Salon at Art Snack was quite an insightful experience. We realized that you could possibly fall in love with an idea behind a work rather than the finished prodcut. I guess it's like...you wouldn't judge a book by it's cover?

Sadly, Art Snack shuts it's doors this Saturday night so we recommend you pop into the shop before then, take a peep at the works (and who knows, maybe purchase one for your self! Michael Candy's rings ARE preeeetttyyy sweet!)
