On a Sunday afternoon midway through October’s FotoFocus the backroom at Baker Hunt was at capacity to hear photographer Gordon Baer talk about his work and the exhibition A Look Back at a Life in Pictures: Photographs by Gordon Baer. The exhibition could be seen on the surrounding walls and in two or three adjoining rooms of the old Covington mansion that has become an art and cultural center..

The impasse Ronsin No. 11, Montparnasse, Paris, the studio of Constantin Brancusi. Sunlight enters the room cautiously, through a tessellation of glass panes in the slanted ceiling. The room is an aquarium. Peering through the cloudy glass and siltwater, objects both low and ascending can be discerned in varying casts of obscurity. Great slabs of stone anchor the floor...

Imagine an opening where people actually look at the art. An opening without cheese, crackers, or wine. And while you’re about it, an opening where everyone wears identical, almost snazzy, specially treated clear plastic glasses.

Experience a happy hour like no other with the Art Museum at the Holy Cross Church at the Mt. Adams Monastery. The offsite exhibition, Doug and Mike Starn: Gravity of Light will enliven visitors with an extraordinary multisensory experience as Shiny and the Spoon entertain with their intoxicating blend of folk-pop music.
