Robert Therrien at the Contemporary

We attended the member's opening reception at The Contemporary Austin for the Robert Therrien exhibit.

I had seen the postcard sent out for the event, it was a picture of some old metal folding chairs in what appeared to be a storage room. I wasn't necessarily impressed, but I assumed the curator had found something redeeming worthy of the space.

Imagine my surprise when I found the chairs to be this size! There was nothing in the original picture to give them scale. I had to laugh at the prank they pulled on me.

There was an interactive station where Kat made an arrangement from a selection of objects.

I played around with shapes and colors (above). And we certainly enjoyed the catered food buffet and open bars on the rooftop.

The sun even made a brief appearance.
