The Cave of Secrets at Pop Up offered a simple deal; read everyone’s secrets if you leave your own. Upon changing the installation to Personal Predictions for the new year, we were surprised to find 726 secrets left by Pop Up patrons. While all ages left something, the demographic skewed heavily to the teenies. A thorough analysis of the content was even more surprising, and encouraging. The most common secret (130) began with “I love”. Here are a few:
I love Jess. Katie. I love my brother. I love this store I love Jesus I love you Britney. I love my daughters. I love grandma. I love my mom. I love you mom . I love this playground by Kobe. I love my boyfriend forever best friend forever. I love you Logan. I really love my daughters. I love you? I love my family. I love life. I love you. I love men.

Patty Noice stopped by Pop Up art gallery to visit her skull and take in some inspiration. She commented on the need to circle the gallery a few times to take it in, so I sat down and asked her a few questions.

Black Friday shoppers were loving the live painting, music, poetry readings and leaving their creative musings in the Cave of Sticky Secrets. They showed their appreciation with a steady stream of art going out the door. Office Diving opened the show at 1 a.m. with some power and then pulled it back for a truly intimate session with a few thousand mall wanderers. Surreal.
Stop by all during December for the freshest local art in the mid-valley!
