The picture doesn't do the event justice, unfortunately.
Last night, the Berkeley Art Museum held its first in a series of late night events, with pianist Terry Riley performing in the middle of a huge, open gallery space, surrounded by an audience perched on chairs and sprawled on pillows and blankets.
It was fun to watch him play, and even more interesting to watch the people watch him play -- heads poking out of the higher galleries, people cuddled on the floor, some smiling, some with intense frowns...
I don't think my description does it justice either. Well, it was a magical mood, ethereal and exciting.
