Hanging With the Hipsters
A tired Jeff Hunter takes Kristen’s place at the front table, accepting birthday congratulations with a wide smile from friends and newcomers alike as they make their way toward the door. In preparation for my own walk home, I make a run to the bathroom where I discover one of the coolest pieces in the place: a large stretch of fabric with a collage of cassette tapes burned into it by Kristen Hunter, is hanging adjacent to the toilet. I wonder if the price tag is “as-is” or could be bartered on grounds of sanitation. I guess we’ll have to see.
The next show at the galley is a “Small Works Invitational” with pieces by co-op members and friends, all priced “$100 or less,” which sort of puts it in the vein of a holiday show, but not really. The exhibit runs for two months starting with an Arts! Arcata opening (with music TBA) on Friday, Dec. 12. The Hunter Plaid Gallery is located at 550 S. G St., Arcata, and is open from noon to 6 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday.
