NORFOLK, Va. One showstopper during last Wednesday’s happy hour was the photo of a Black woman. A spotlight illuminated her everything her voluminous Afro, her commanding pose, the multicolored frock that flowed over her frame.
The other showstopper was the drink a cognac-based sidecar that barman Josh Seaburg made to complement the image during “Curated Cocktails,” a new virtual program of the Chrysler Museum of Art.
The Zoom-based “educational happy hour” launched in March as another way during the pandemic to introduce people to art. It also introduces the public to the curators and conservators who work outside of the spotlight as they spend months, sometimes years, researching and executing exhibitions.

.-Gió Marconi opened Cold Shoulders / Foreign Affairs / Seafood Dinners / Power Vacuums / and The Last Gate at the End of a Very Long Terminal, Matthew Brannons third solo show with the gallery.
I made this exhibition during the surreal year that was 2020. I imagined a plane hovering in mid-air above a city sometime during the last century. Light as a feather, heavy as a whale. Each artwork shows the seat of an unseen passenger. Its the set of a theatre production after the show is over and the cameras are off. Its the moment upon waking before you remember all you have to do. Its the center of a book I wrote long ago. Its a space for you to enter. The floating world.
