Now Open
July 24th, 2007Water is now up and running, and the Pulitzer is back to business as usual. We had our opening reception on Friday night and it went great — we doubled our attendance since the last opening! Here’s a few glimpses of the galleries from that night:
People gathered in the Main Gallery:
Only 5 people are allowed in the Lower Gallery at a time. This was the line to get in:
It was a perfect night temperature-wise — especially for St. Louis at the end of July. Here are some great photos of dusk over the watercourt (the part of the building that inspired the whole exhibition):
As I mentioned in my last post, we videotaped parts of the opening to put on our website. It went really well — Matthias had some great comments about the ideas behind the exhibition, and we got some candid feedback from gallery assistants on their favorite pieces in the show. We’re thinking about making a mini-series of videos focusing on different artworks in the exhibition. Any other ideas that you’d like to see? Let us know!
