Have you ever visited a museum or gallery and found some of the work hard to grasp? Have you left an exhibition thinking that the art is simply from another world—one that is exclusionary and difficult to navigate? Join SPACES as we invade Northeast Ohio's (and beyond) art venues ready to tackle and discuss challenging work. Participants will learn how to fearlessly analyze and talk about contemporary art through SPACES' popular program Space Invaders.

http://www.spacesgallery.org/2010/events/space_invaders/index.htmlThink of the invasions as open critiques and evaluations of what you see—an opportunity to hash out what is (or isn't) successful. Discover the best ways to approach and talk about different media and concepts. You will then be equipped to stride into any contemporary museum or gallery with confidence.
