Today, we're back in High Point at 220 East Commerce Avenue at Theatre Art Galleries, also known as TAG. TAG combines performance art with visual art. The main gallery, shown above, is currently featuring an exhibit entitled "No Boundaries: Two Generations Face to Face. Artists Lucy Davis Phillips and Harriet Marshall Goode are a perfect pair to share gallery space. Both are figurative artists who like to show a great deal of emotion and construct narrative in their work. Harriet does the larger pieces which show women full-length and face forward, often doing something really unusual, like carrying a chicken. Seeing the figures, painted with some details merely suggested, makes one wonder if they are fading from view or coming into focus. To be sure, one does not feel alone when in a room with the work of these two Carolina gals. Harriet is from Rock Hill, South Carolina and Lucy from High Point.
High Point Theatre is located in the furniture district of High Point. Starting December 6th, the North Carolina Shakespeare will begin performing Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" there. If the performance is as good as it was last year, we may have to go twice!
Stop back by Greensboro Daily Photo, tomorrow. We'll be back in Greensboro. And, if we are lucky, Time Warner Cable will get our internet working and we'll be finished coffee shop hopping to use the internet.
I love the unfocused nature of these works,as you say are they coming or going? Viewers choice.
We have a TAG here too totally unrelated it is Toy Art Gallery. They curate the works of artists in vinyl,resin and plush and canvas formats all related to the Toy art scene.
Good luck with Time Warner hope they figure it out and get you online and stable this time.
