Art galleries are beautiful quiet places to enjoy art.
Until people with laptops start occupying it.
- seanmcdirmid 14y agoMy favorite place in Lausanne was the cafe in the museum downtown. It was also a favorite place for studying, though it completely lacked wifi.
- calibraxis 14y agoMaybe you're right, but I've personally always found galleries sterile, and perhaps would be humanized by some normal human activity. Better than the usual gawking parade. That dead artificial vibe tends to overwhelm my appreciation for the art it purports to showcase.
- zalew 14y agoAs someone who often frequents galleries and enjoys the common experience - we are just fine with the current normal human activity in there, no need to fix it, thank you.
- corin_ 14y agoWhy does the fact that you like the current situation and he doesn't make you more right than he is?
- zalew 14y agoit sounded like he doesn't like them. if I don't like the place and people in it, I just don't go there. I don't try to change it against everybody else who is fine how things work. on a side note, I really don't think that every piece of public space needs to be occupied by people on computers. I wouldn't like if galleries were the victim of what happened to cafes, where I need to look if there is actually an atmosphere of a cafe, not an office/chatroom with coffee tables instead of desks (sometimes it reaches a ridiculous degree). it's not like I'm offended, it just spoils the mood. my kind of 'get off my lawn'.
