The September 2nd gallery hop was pretty dull. Sure, many businesses don't want to open on Labor Day weekend and the OSU Football march to the nation championship had taken over the town that day, but more artists could have been showing art. Even the dancers were gone (probably off to Burning Man in Neveda).
One new gallery started out and made the mistake of renting a searchlight for a dull gallery hop with a modest crowd. As 2 Co left their motorcycle garage- turned night club theatre the upstairs rehearsal room make a return as a gallery.
Also new was a
lamp shade store at third and High.
The new architecture building on campus is a block long wonder with a wide variety of treatments to what a building could look like. There are all sorts of curves and windows plus other surprises. It is clad in marble shingles that seem to just shade the building's outside. A cafe is included on side. Even replicas of the major classical columns find a place.
This new special eduction complex has a two block long red stripe along it uniting several buildings with a overhead walkway with scarlet colored glass. The stripe can be seen from Ohio Stadium (see previous post). The original post-modern building on campus, a modern reproduction of the original Univerity Hall , was built in the seventies. It can be seen in the lower picture. The top picture shows the Main Library tower that will undergo a massive renovation in the next two years.
