Thursday, January 11, 2007 ENTERTAINMENT The Nugget Art and booze to boot! By KIM VAN NIEUVEN- HUYSE

For those who resolved to get more culture in their diets this year, the Art Gallery of Alberta’s Art Bar is an easy and fun way to begin the quest for culture. The Art Bar is designed to blur the boundaries of the formally defined gallery space and challenge the idea of the “look don’t touch” art gallery. It’s an example of Fluxus, a conceptual art movement that began in the 1960s. Fluxus was conceived as a way to bridge the gap between art and everyday life and reconfigure the artist/art – audience relationship. In Fluxus works, audience interaction/participation is a part of the art piece. It is this way with the Art Bar. Patrons of the bar are recorded as they interact with each other and the space itself. The footage is later played back in the bar making the patrons part of the work. The Art Bar is the creation of local musician/artist/club designer Jesse Sherburne. Originally intended to be a temporary instal- lation, the Art Bar now runs every Thursday from 4 p.m. until 8 p.m. for happy hour. So, bring a friend, order a drink, and take in the art scene because getting some culture is now as easy as ordering a pint.
