This art by Gary Simmons is titled "The Lineup." it is at least life sized and made of acrylic on wood with gold plated basketball shoes. I had assumed it was inspired by the movie "The Usual Suspects" but was surprised to see that this art predated the movie by two years.
From Saturday morning, out with Andre and Neil. Andre had the great idea to meetup for sunrise, and we got a stunner.

Because Ruth and Karen both got such amazing shots from Homer Watson park this weekend, I had to venture out there this morning too.... Its such a beautiful spot, and I didn't even know about it.
I have more to go through, but this one jumped out at me right away so I thought I would get it up quick.
I ran into Doug from Guelph there. I'm sure he will be posting some amazing shots, so have a look on this stream.

Since I buy all my music online now, I don't have any recent CDs for this... everything here I had to dig out of storage in the basement.
Setting up this shot was fun, because Andy and I spent lots of time digging out CDs and organizing them... Now I just have to clean it up!
Lights: I used 3 lights. One to my right, near my elbow, shot into an umbrella. Second to my left, very high and halfway to subject, into umbrella. Third, hair light, bare light onto the hair. Reflections were a bugger....

I have been waiting 2 years now for 3 things to converge...
- Several days of below-10C weather
- Followed by a bright, sunny winter day
- And that it be a weekend day where I have it free to go to Niagara!
These bushes line the edge of the rock face...
A day in Elora. From one of the shops downtown... I love the reflection of thewindow of the mill.

My last shot from my CD collection... We got him dressed up tonight, spiked the hair, and grabbed the guitar from GuitarHero. This project was a blast!
2 lights, and 1 large reflector. One light is high on left, even with subject and shot into an umbrella. Second light is camera right. Reflector is on my left, at floor level aimed at his face.
Last year my friend Chuck Dodson introduced me to artist Gary Simmons while I was visiting his gallery in Hot Springs Arkansas.
Gary is an acclaimed pen and ink artist whose talent is only exceeded by his friendliness. I count myself fortunate to have met him.
Although Gary and I spent very little time together it was enough for me to learn from him this one vital lesson:
A true artist remains curious for life.
One of the results of our meeting was that Gary and I agreed it would be interesting to see what might happen should we collaborate artistically.
Personally I felt that this would be a wonderful learning experience for me, and I daresay it felt like Gary was curious as to what might come of it as well.
Long overdue "Death and the Maiden II" is the first result of this collaboration. To see my first interpretation of "Death and the Maiden" go to: www.flickr.com/photos/israeli-art/2842709001
I dedicate it to Chuck Dodson without whom Gary and I would never have met.
: )
All the best,
Mike

Exhibition Review - Gary Simmons:'Post No Bills' Simon Lee Gallery, London till 20th Feb 2016.
With Gary, I rub the hardness in history books into the tatter of all yesterdays.- Drenched Co.
Comment: "What connects the present to the past? For Gary, the answer lies in a ghosting of sorts - a presence that marks the now, one that is there but not always visible, fraying at the edges but tenaciously present, leaving a fragmented trail of deep set prejudices. In this show Gary wants you to experience this ephemeral ghosting of place, people and objects in and around the exhibits that seems to have traveled from various performance venues. He wants you to live these erstwhile performances and spaces through the clues he leaves for you. And here, the frayed edges of his posters and sculptures might even converse with you in tones of politics and race. I loved his chalkboard paintings best..."- FaSa

The Whitney Museum of American Art, known informally as the "Whitney", was founded in 1931 by Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney (1875–1942), a wealthy and prominent American socialite and art patron. The museum focuses on 20th- and 21st-century American art, with a permanent collection that comprises more than 21,000 pieces by more than 3,000 artists.
The Whitney occupied a modernist Upper East Side building from 1966 through 2014 before relocating to its current home, a nine-story, 200,000-square-foot Renzo Piano-designed building at 99 Gansevoort Street, in May 2015.

I got the idea to run fast around this part of the 1964 installation, and instructed Karin to just take several pictures of me doing so. I thought it would be funny to run past these smeared pictures, making a cartoonish picture of myself at exaggerated speed.

Here, you can see part of a large-format installation at the Bohen Foundation by artist Gary Simmons, as well as another one of the LOT-EK offices in the background. I was not familiar with Simmons or his work before seeing this exhibition. He is known for addressing racism and stereotypes in history and pop culture, and his erasure drawings (the style seen here) are a trademark style. Here is an interesting essay that includes some analysis of his work.
The Bohen Foundation was probably my favorite site from openhousenewyork. LOT-EK's shipping containers are used as offices, with innovative modification and use of space. You also can read a little about it if you scroll down on this page.
Here's how OHNY described it:

Just a quicky edit from this morning's sunrise shoot. 5 shot HDR, shot from down low to the ground.
It was cold and a bit windy out there this morning, but it was worth it to me. Lots more to come!
I posted the setup shot on Twitter if you are interested: twitter.com/garysimmons/status/300216391972294656/photo/1
