And getting extremely close to the art. Inspect every detail. 6 inches away or closer is optimal. Touch it if nobody is looking.
Leave silently without drinking any of the free booze or taking any pictures to post on your story. On your way out, take one of the press releases and stare at it intently for a few minutes. Sign your name on the little book with an unnecessarily large signature.

well maybe not EVERYTHING but ANYTHING that tickles your fancy! it’s like going on a scavenger hunt and collecting little treasures. also a fan of not capturing the painting in its entirety and zooming in on the aspects i like most (i LOVE getting up close to an impressionist painting to see the texture) now i have a little museum inside my phone of all the things i like yay!

exhibition openings are without a doubt the absolute worst times to look at art. they can be fun dont get me wrong, i love to yap and i love free wine but undoubtedly its like a glorified peacocking experience/being stuck in the perpetual first act of a party (the hey-hows-it-going-who-are-you-here-with-have-you-seen-the-work-whatddya-think-what-have-you-been-working-on-lately? before you catch the eye of someone else you know across the room they come over and it repeats). its too crowded to move around the space because people are stood in clusters of 3-5, usually in front of pieces of work, and its too loud really to pay attention to reading any texts/watching any moving image stuff. fun as social excursions but if you really want to soak up the exhibition and can only attend once its probably better to go on literally any other day.

Maybe instead of looking for someone with the same niche musical taste and passion for arthouse cinema, you should find someone who is kind to you and doesn’t know who Dasha Nekrasova is

If my heart yearns for you, I am going to like literally everything you post on your story because I have no shame. If you start liking mine back, we are dating now. I don’t make the rules.
This is the modern version of courting the unmarried sons and daughters of nobles, asking them to waltz with you and trying to win the approval of their father.

The French intuitively know this, but we Americans are so prudish. I’m a straight man, but if women are asked to be naked on camera then it’s only fair to show the male actors cock and balls, accentuated by the subtle moonlight streaming through the window, as if it was a Caravaggio painting.
