Urban Mandala

Much as we'd like to, we don't always (or even usually) attend opening nights at BLVD and Roq La Rue, so we stopped by both galleries Saturday afternoon. The piece in the video is indeed painted directly on the gallery wall -- and after April 7, it'll be painted over.

We asked Kirsten Anderson if they'd thought about cutting out part of the wall. She said they'd like to, but compared it to a Tibetan sand mandala. The impermanence is part of the beauty.

Want to see it before it's painted over, to be discovered by future art historians when they peel back paint layer by layer? Get to BLVD by April 7.
