There was a time when art exhibits came and went, when openings were merely an excuse to socialize and be seen. Certain galleries and exhibits of course were far more important than others, with guests that cut across the elite who buy and collect art, to members of the art academe (teachers and scholars), to artists of all shapes and sizes, maybe a celebrity or two.

It can be painfully claustrophobic, and half the time the art becomes secondary really to the task of chika. The crowd also makes it impossible to look at the art, and that means having to go back for another look, if the task is to write about it.
