Solomon Fine Art (hailing from Seattle) featured a number of interesting objects and paintings, including pieces by Paul Shakespear and interesting wall pieces that contained sculptural elements by Ellen Garvens. The curator, Meli Solomon, nailed something that had been in the back of my mind all night: that people could experience art at the Affair as they would in their own homes- or at least in something more like their own homes than a gallery usually is. The size and content restrictions inherent in displaying in an enclosed space were outweighed favorably by the viewer's unconscious relationship with the more intimate space and lighting. Emily Isenberg had mentioned the same thing about Allston Skirt Gallery's selections; the shipping was prohibitive since they're located in Boston, and the space was limited, but that helped them to create a more intimate, homey atmosphere.
