Anna Alexanian - Show Documentation Part II (also some shmoozing)

Our reception was great. It was raining, the highway flooded, and everyone was nursing their injuries after Black Friday, but the Dissonance show went on - and we had a pretty decent turnout. 

Not a lot of people showed up, given the reasons mentioned above, but enough did that it felt like a packed house. I spoke briefly to a gentleman that came in and photographed our work, one Rick Vesny, who enjoyed the show a lot and mentioned that he would be posting the photographs he took on his own website. 

Also, I spoke to a Gideon Swift - an art dealer in the Dallas area who was pretty taken with a few of the pieces in the show. Arthur Pena showed up briefly, as well, and though I didn't get a chance to speak with him, I did notice him lingering over my pieces for a long time, which was pretty cool. I've attached a few of the documentation photos from the show (also Kate Denton showed up and helped us set out all the refreshments and things, so a massive, massive shoutout/thank you to her for coming out to support us!), as well as a brief video I made for a friend who unfortunately could not make it. 

Overall, this was a fantastic experience. I absolutely loved the opportunity, and both Evita and Darius were wonderful to work with throughout this entire semester!
