Dark, Dreary, and Depressing

Art Gallery of Nova Scotia的点评

点评：A disastrous testament to the destructive power of “woke” ideals. Deep in the dreary depths we found one gorgeous bright Tom Forrestal— “Island in the Ice”— buried in a dreary little red (yes, red) room with, believe it or not, Alex Colville’s “Ocean Limited”. Couldn’t find either of the great Pratt painters. Are the curators and the board aware that a Colville painting just sold for 2.4 million?? Get your bloody priorities straight. Instead there is a plethora of Micmac work, the masks quite stunning, but much of the painting mediocre at best, especially “Chief Wiggums Wet Dream” (or some title close to that), a massive overbearing testament to bad taste driven by woke ideals. Get real— the painting is terrible and monopolizes a vast wall. The entire experience of the gallery was dark, dreary, and depressing. In addition to theses failings, signage is virtually non existent. (you might want to indicate on the street where the bloody entrance to the gallery is) and parking of course, like much of Halifax, is a bloody disaster. What a sad little gallery. What an embarrassment to the people of Nova Scotia. As another reviewer noted, the Beaverbrook in Fredericton is an example of how to run a small gallery— it is vastly superior.

翻译：这场展览简直是对“觉醒”理念破坏力的灾难性证明。我们在阴暗沉闷的角落里，终于找到了一幅汤姆·福雷斯特尔（Tom Forrestal）的精美画作——《冰中之岛》（Island in the Ice）——它被埋没在一个阴暗的小红房间里（没错，是红色的），旁边竟然还有亚历克斯·科尔维尔（Alex Colville）的《海洋特快》（Ocean Limited）。我们没找到普拉特画廊两位伟大画家的作品。策展人和董事会难道不知道科尔维尔的一幅画刚刚以240万美元的价格售出吗？你们的优先事项到底是怎么回事？取而代之的是大量的米克马克族（Micmac）作品，面具确实令人惊艳，但大部分画作充其量只能算平庸之作，尤其是《维格姆酋长的白日梦》（Chief Wiggums Wet Dream）（或者类似的标题），这幅巨大而霸道的作品，正是“觉醒”理念驱动下低俗品味的体现。说真的，这幅画糟透了，却占据了整整一面墙。整个画廊的氛围阴暗、沉闷、压抑。除了这些不足之外，指示牌几乎不存在。（你或许应该在街上标明画廊入口到底在哪儿！）当然，停车问题也像哈利法克斯的大部分地区一样，简直一团糟。多么令人失望的小画廊啊！新斯科舍省的人民真是蒙羞。正如另一位评论者所说，弗雷德里克顿的Beaverbrook画廊才是小型画廊运营的典范——它远胜于这家。
