Both presenters were great yesterday but Jason and Oliver's was clearly something more than just a presentation of information.
Alex Grey's information was not presented in an analytic fashion but rather using the artist own words and in tensions to show who he really was. This is not to say they did not have a solid grasp of what Grey stands for and the meaning behind his work but sometimes, rather than complicating things with in depth analysis, it is more beneficial to introduce the viewers to the concepts straight from the originators mind.
When the art is so spiritually based, it is bound to invoke different emotions in everyone and I think it was nice how they asked our opinion on some of the pieces.
Beyond the information, the props and gifts were a great way to connect the audience on a personal level to the presentation. Having us gather in a circle while they played the prayer bowls allowed myself personally to reconnect spiritually in a way I have not attempted in some time.
I predicted something special from them and they still exceeded my expectations.
