Awkward x 2 gives the Green Building a real gift [Visual Art]
Last night I was able to attend the opening reception for the latest Awkward x 2 gallery opening at The Green Building on Market St. Awkward x 2 is a two person artistic team from Los Angeles consisting of Louisville native Rebecca Norton and Jeremy Gilbert-Rolfe. In 2010 they found they had similar complementary sensibilities and so decided to join forces and create collaborative works of art. Fusing together competing grid systems, Awkward x2 highlights the angles and patterns through color and space. I must say I found the work very fascinating.

‘The Thinker’ to return to UofL Tuesday [Colleges]
The University of Louisville is about to get a bit smarter tomorrow.
The Thinker, Louisville’s version of the iconic Auguste Rodin sculpture, will return to campus after a two-and-a-half-month hiatus. President James Ramsey will formally welcome the bronze statue back to the front of Grawemeyer Hall on the Belknap Campus tomorrow, Tuesday, February 21, at 1:45 p.m.
The sculpture decamped to Nashville, Tennessee in early December so conservators could clean the surface and apply a layered, black-over-green patina favored by Rodin.
