Vision of Bridge

I just returned from "27 MIX, Restaurant and Bar", 27 Halsey St. in Newark where the paintings hang from the brick waLL. Around the corner from the Restaurant is the "Red Saw Gallery", 585 Broad St., Newark, where I saw the opening of the "Surfaces" show. This was a painting show, small scale and large scale works. I hope to show in this gallery in the near future. The director wants to keep in touch so this can happen.

Photographs were taken and it was filmed with the camcorder.

This may seem exciting and good, but right now, what is exciting and on fire is the Bridge. Not only that, but the One-Night Bridge Exhibition that I believe can happen underneath the train station bridge in Elizabeth. Imagine that! I see a spot-light spinning in the summer night sky, letting everyone know what is happening, something is happening in that bridge over there. I see lights hanging from the Bridge, completely lighting up the space underneath so that everyone can see the paintings and each other and the garbage on the ground and the pigeons hiding away. I see hundreds of people coming, many invitations will be passed out for this main event in Elizabeth, NJ. I see stylish dressed women and men, young and old, walking underneath this murky bridge, women trying not to fall down in their high-heels. I see those coming just as they are, ripped sweaters and scruffy beards, dripping make-up and ripped stockings, all walKing underneath this bridgE. I see wine and cheese. I hear trains above me, the horns and the racket of the track. I see strangers dining with strangers. I see photographers and videographers documenting this event. I see the art hanging, large scale, detailed, energetic color, expressive line, miniscule bricks and stained glass windows. I sense the uncertainty one might experience when they first see the location. "What, its under a bridge, is it safe?" I hope the lights and noise will draw them in, draw them in to the art.

This vision that I have I believe is real. I know I must go through people in the city of Elizabeth to receive permission. I hope it is possible and well received as a cultural event for the city of Elizabeth.
