Being In the Dark / Tessa Rehkop
As an intern and new visitor of the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis I’ve been able to observe, as an outsider, the installation and opening of the current exhibition, For the blind man in the dark room looking for the black cat that isn’t there. The theme of this major group show has much relevance for me because I was “in the dark” when it came to the fast paced art world and the process of installing and preparing for an Opening Night. For the blind man… celebrates the experience of not-knowing and unlearning in a time of uncertainty in the world. Especially in times like these, everyone seems to be at least somewhat in the dark.
