THREE MATTER-OF-FACT FACTS ABOUT PICA
1/ It is in the heart of the city - Open your heart!
2/ It is free - Free your spirit!
3/ It is good - My Goodness!
THREE SUPER-DUPER FACTS ABOUT PICA
1/ It is full of "exhibitionists". You know, people who stripe their souls and brains bare and display them on the wall, on the floor, from the ceiling, and so on.
2/ It is full of unusual pieces of art, on any sort of media you can imagine of.
3/ They also have art "talkalists". Those are a rare species of artsy people you rarely find elsewhere.
TEN REASONS TO VISIT the PICA
1/ You like Contemporary Art/s.
2/ You don't know what Contemporary Art is all about, but don't want to confess this to anybody, so better go and check something out: an exhibition, a show, a talk, whatever.
3/ You want to feel the magic of expanding your artistic horizons in a confined environment.
4/ You have a new somebody in your life who is artsy, and want a place to take and impress him/her without going bankrupt.
5/ You want to show the world that you are brave enough to visit a place that doesn't serve alcohol at midday and requires of your full senses to move around.That makes you officially hot! Can you handle your hotness?
6/ Did I mention the Art/s?
7/ You are leaving the country and have spare change for their gold-coin donation box. No gold? Dontawori, ozi coins are cool, too.
8/ Nobody will display a nosey attitude because you are wearing your flip-flops, micro-shorts, a stinky "unwashed" T-shirt at the gallery. They welcome the artsy-fartsy in you.
9/ You want to say hello to the lovely guys that work there.
10/ You want to get your official stamp, all over your face, as PICAchu, PICAdian or PICAmisù. Choose your adjective at pleasure, dude.
MANIFESTO
I swear I was not paid by PICA to write this oh-so-fabulous review. I do so out of pure l-o-v-e. However, one of those wonderful prints by Louisa Hansal, would be an invaluable addition to the bareness of my apartment's walls. Ahhh, day-dreaming is free, as everything at the PICA.
CURSE
If you reproduce this review without my permission, or mutate it to suit your needs without my permission, I swear to the Three Muses of the Arts that I will curse you so hard that you'll be frigid all over. You've been warned!
