On Observing Artists Observing Art

0

This weekend I went to James Jean's art gallery "Rebus" opening. The LA hipster/art scene is pretty funny to me, mostly because I used to think my bummy “I don’t give a shit how I look” look fit in well with that crowd, but as I’ve wisened up I have noticed that the hipster look is more well thought out than I had originally thought. Looks kind of bummy but outfits are still planned, facial hair and accompanying “messy” hair is still groomed and all. Ugh. Sounds like a lot of work to look messy, bummy, and still fashionable and nice all at the same time. Fuck that. I guess it makes sense though since artists are still going to notice what doesn’t flow aesthetically, and just can’t help themselves.


I overheard a pretty funny conversation while there

Girl 1 recognizes Girl 2 from somewhere and approaches her saying “Hey, I think..”
Girl 2 “…yeah, you’re”
Girl 1”we’re facebook friends?”

I was able to restrain my laughter but I couldn’t hide the grin.
