"Untitled"

No wiffle yesterday, but a good number of Whifflers gathered this week with the arts community at the Triangle Gallery on the campus of Sinclair Community College (4th Floor, Building 13, corner of Perry and Fifth, downtown Dayton) for a reception marking the opening of Glen Cebulash’s show: “Recent Work by Glen Cebulash.”

It was certainly a well rounded, complete reception.  There was art to contemplate:

There was excellent conversation:

There was live music:

There was food (not pictured).

The Artist himself was there and the opportunity for one-on-one conversation with Glen, on the topic of his oeuvre, was both engaging and enlightening.  Glen was a blur of motion and activity, as can be seen by this series of shots in which my camera (which is really more phone than camera) was unable to capture him clearly:

The pieces on display now through November 18 include collages, as well as works in other media (oils and inks) that affect collages.  There is a great variation in scale with pieces ranging from the sketch to the over-sized canvas.  Speaking as someone with no artistic outlet of my own, I was impressed by the evident energy and devotion that went into this “Recent Work.” This gallery show is a swell setting to see Glen’s work.  However, like most Whifflers, my favorite place from which to see Glen’s work is from the BATTER’S BOX.

Towards the end of the show Tim “The Whammer” Baker had the audacity to get out his camera.  

Let’s see what Tim is capturing on his phone here...

GASP!  So not only will The Artist not show up on film, neither will his work?  Glen, what kind of  Black Magic are you employing?

Well, anyway the Whiffle off season is off to a smashing start!  Can we look forward to wine and cheese tastings, poetry readings and foreign film noir??  Sounds .. uplifting.  On the other hand, some of us will be playing ice hockey in our sneakers.

Remember: The Whiffies banquet is December 10.
