Yesterday we went to church in the morning. The pastor was away and so the youth advisor lead the service and preached. There was a youth stringed ensemble that played the special music and they were good. It was nice to see Marilyn Campbell there and to sit with her. Dee was able to connect with a new friend there and plan for lunch later in the week. After church we had lunch out and then went home. We sat on the deck in the sun and did some reading for a while.
Then we headed to the grand opening of the 2008 Carnegie International contemporary art show at the Museum of Art. The show is called "Life on Mars." We went to the lecture in the Carnegie Library Lecture Hall. That was a first for us and the "people watching" aspect was fun. The lecture was actually an interview with the curator about the creative process behind selecting the 40 artists for this year's Gallery displays. The topic was about experiencing "other worlds" of creative mments in life. It wasn't about Mars at all (to the disappointment of some attendees). It was interesting to be a part of the event. But we're not really wowed by contemporary art. I'm glad we went as it was something new for us. I always enjoy being at the museums. A plus for us was that we got to see Tom and Eleanor Fisher along with Kay Chute and Ken Chute from our Wilkinsburg Church days. And ofcourse the reception with the snacks, beverages and the crowds added to the ambiance.
