Like a moth to the light, the sign of artifice, a piece of art in itself, attracted me to this awesome bar at the art district in downtown. A much familiar painting, an artist finds a useless building and turns it into ....what else?...a piece of art.
Museum like open spaces but with plenty of comfortable seating, a machineless bar where people actually converse enjoying each other company by candlelight and a stage where occasional bands play and people dance, super cool bartenders that take all this and mixes it with a smile into the perfect cocktail.
I take a sip from my sapphire martini as I walk around enjoying the paintings and pictures and Amazed how they made everything connect together, made some exposed plumbing look like a part of an installation by adding matching benches and making it an essential part of the composition.
I'm a painter and I would never consider myself an artist, but I know art when I see it and artifice is more than your regular lounge,....is a piece of art and since I can't take it home with me, I'll be doing the second best thing......I'll be bringing myself to it...regularly.
Keep the blue neon light on and the blue gin stocked.
