YAHOO. funded by the Regional Arts Commission. Anheuser-Busch, and the Central West End Bank, allows talented youngsters in Skinker DeBaliviere to gain hands-on apprenticeship experience from sculptor Bill Christman, whose studio is at Four Corners. Now, thanks to the Forum gallery, in Grand Center, many will be able to admire the work of Christman and his brood.
On June 6. an exhibition opened at the Forum dedicated to the visual arts. YAHOO’s work takes up the lion’s share of the third floor of the gallery.
On opening night, an interchanging live theatrical display highlighted the festivities. Viewers also were invited to partake of authentic moon pies, washed down by Yoohoo or RCs or Cokes.
The opening was well-attended by Skinker DeBaliviere neighbors and many patrons of the arts. YAHOO presented a variety of works There were three free-standing sculptures prepared by the participants and Christman.
They were entitled respectively: Vegetarianism. Porcine Products. What Does Politically Correct Mean? Lucy Griesbach presented “Good and Plenty” and William Freeman had “Cracker Jack.” These and other works were representations of various commercial products. Sam DiLorenzo, a senior at St. Louis University, majoring in English and art, exhibited a work called “Capless Stretch Wigs.” He spoke very highly of YAHOO.
He said that a lot of the participants have more interest in art and take it seriously.
They have learned to mix paint and work with tools. Bill Christman roamed the exhibition dressed almost like a lounge lizard of the 70s. Roy Roncal and Andy Cross, cochairs of the West End Arts Council, seemed very pleased. Andy said he had “a firm grasp on his YAHOO.” On the way out, I spotted participant John McGuire.
He said this is fine but “YAHOO can do and will do much better.” His older brother Dan thought it was great.
The exhibit will remain at the Forum until July 31.
Some pieces are for sale and Betsy Mallard of the Forum or Bill Christman can provide details.
