Wednesday, November 14, 2018: Open Studios (Part One: Windows)
by ag
The following images were taken at two open studio events in western Massachusetts this month: one at Eastworks in Easthampton, the other at Indian Orchard Mills in Springfield. The main attraction, of course, was the chance to see lots of art, talk with its creators, and check out their work spaces. Photography-wise though, what drew my attention was the old industrial mill buildings themselves, repurposed now to serve artists, craftsmen, and small businesses, but still showing signs of age in their details and public spaces. Today, windows; tomorrow, stairwells. (Please click on images to enlarge.)

Thanks Daniel. Must be lots of similar places in Berlin.

Yes you´re right. Although Berlin tries to clean it, to sterilize every place right know, to sell it, to market it. But chaos and dirt and decay are stronger…. :-)

This looks like a cool place where you can be inspired to produce some creative images, too. Nice work, Alan.

Nothing like age, rust, peeling paint, exposed bricks and beams, great light, and windows that can’t be cleaned to get those creative juices flowing :)

Ken said it – I can totally see why you were inspired, even without seeing any of the artwork. Sometimes it’s beside the point.

Also, it feels a bit insensitive to the artists to walk into their studios looking for good photos, as opposed to showing a genuine interest in their work.
