Call me a moving expert. I’ve definitely done it enough: five times over the past six years. You’d think I’d like it by now, but I don’t. I still hate it.
One fight I find myself in every time I arrive somewhere new is what to do with my walls.
Is it a prerequisite that all walls have to be so white — like really, really white?
In college, I found enough trendy movie and music posters to cover everything up. But I’m not in college anymore; most of you reading this probably aren’t, either. So what are we to do now?
That’s where 50 Entertainment hopes to come in.
The local music and media company is hosting a three-hour gallery event, “Echo through the waves,” at its Warehouse District offices, featuring enough splashy paintings and photography to fill rooms and rooms full of bland, white walls.
There will be photographs of sights around the Twin Cities, colorful paintings bubbling over with energy and introspective abstract images.
In a news release, 50 Entertainment wanted to make the point that the art, all produced by Minnesotans, is meant to come home with you: Nothing will cost more than $500.
That’s a little more than I paid for the “Pulp Fiction” posters adorning my college dorm room. But it also is much better than hanging onto drabness.
