Less Than One
April 7 - December 31, 2016
Galleries 1, 2, 3, and Perlman.
Less Than One is an international, multigenerational group show offering in-depth presentations of work from the 1960s to the present by 16 artists central to the Walker’s collection.
The exhibition surveys a range of approaches—from painting and sculpture to drawing, installation, moving image, performance, and photography—sequencing compelling groupings of works by each artist that underscore the often provocative, historically charged, and risk-taking nature of the Walker’s multidisciplinary holdings. Less Than One includes pieces by Lutz Bacher, Ericka Beckman, Trisha Brown, Paul Chan, Trisha Donnelly, Renée Green, Charline von Heyl, Jasper Johns, Joan Jonas, Meredith Monk, Adrian Piper, Sigmar Polke, Pope.L, James Richards, Dieter Roth, and Kara Walker.
Curator: Fionn Meade with Victoria Sung
Less than a minute after a plane passes by, the condensates in its contrails fountain up to mix with the surrounding air. Textbook case of Rayleigh-Taylor, though I suppose vortex shedding by the plane also contributes to the structure, or at least to the rapidity of the process.
Sepsis fulgens is a small ant-mimicking fly sometimes called the "lesser dung fly".
This fly is often seen visiting flowers in order to obtain a carbohydrate meal. But it is most often associated with a variety of animal dung, particularly that of cow and horse, on which the female will lay her eggs, and the larva will feed. Male S. fulgens are often more common on dung, as it here that they will wait for the females. In fact, males are so keen, that they will very often mount any visiting fly that bares a slight resemblance to another Sepsis, including other males, but they will quickly dismount again when the error is apparent. When a suitable mate is found the male will stay firmly attached to the female, and copulation will normally take place later and at another location. So attached are the pair that it usually takes a 180 degree maneuver for the couple to part company.
Day 3 - Thursday.
Me and Susie decide to split up today. I wanted to hike up the Mediterranean Steps, and Susie fancied some less strenuous shopping in town instead.
Walking to the base of the Steps at the Jew's Gate 2 1/2 miles away, it was a perfect morning for the climb up. I'd have made it in half the time bu stopped every few steps to take a photo, there was a new view around every corner. The Steps carry a warning as a hard climb, and not suitable for vertigo sufferers. I would have to agree! There were plenty of hand rails though and I never felt unsafe. As well as the derelict lookout posts you'd expect, there are also a couple of small caves that are worth a mooch.
Now I was at the top again, there were two things I wanted to to - the new Windsor Suspension Bridge, by the 1903 Hanynes Cave Battery, and the Charles V Wall steps up.
The suspension bridge looks spectacular, built in 2016 by local firm Bovis Koala, working alongside Muntanya, a Spanish contractor which had completed similar projects in the Pyrenees. It’s part of a scheme to make the Upper Rock more appealing to hikers and walkers. It wobbles as you walk across! (But that’s not a design flaw, it’s part of the design.)
Next up, The Charles V Wall. We saw this close up yesterday on the Upper Rock, but my vertigo got the better of me and we gave them a miss. Back up today, and I couldn’t resist this time. I think I had already used up my vertigo climbing the Mediterranean Steps that morning. I figured it would be easier going up, than down, which frankly looked terrifying. It was a good work out, but I felt quite safe with the walk one side and handrail the other. It takes you all the way to the top on the rock ridge. Once back up to the top of the rock, the thought of walking all the way down (again) along a couple of miles of steep roads was too much, I walked down the steps instead, being careful not to trip.
I’d highly recommend walking them if you are visiting. The views are amazing, and despite looking mildly terrifying, a recent restoration in 2008 means they are in good order. Also a good way to avoid the coach and taxi tourists!
Originally built by Spain in 1540 as a defensive curtain wall to stop Barbary Pirate raids.
Back down via Devils Gap Battery, still with it's guns in place, and through the alleyways of the old town.
After a quick tattoo and a spot of lunch, we did the excellent WW2 Tunnel Tour with guide Nicholas, starting at the old Casino, and ending at the other end of town near the Moorish Castle.
Amazing day!

A worthwhile trip for those who enjoy the road less traveled, the North Rim, or "other side" of Grand Canyon is visited by only 10% of all Grand Canyon visitors. The centerpiece of the park is the Grand Canyon, a gorge of the Colorado River. The Grand Canyon is 277 miles (446 km) long, up to 18 miles (29 km) wide and attains a depth of over a mile (6,000 feet or 1,800 metres). Nearly two billion years of the Earth's geological history have been exposed as the Colorado River and its tributaries cut their channels through layer after layer of rock while the Colorado Plateau was uplifted. Designated as an UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979.

Here it was, finally. The last full day of my second nine-day vacation in less than a month. I have to say, spring 2015 was awfully kind to me. Sunday morning found me boarding the huge passenger ferry on Weizhou Island after what was probably the best day of this trip. The ride back was perfectly uneventful, and we were treated to the same tourist video of Weizhou Island and Beihai that we’d seen coming over (or one awfully similar).
I really didn’t have too many plans for Beihai. One of the more famous sites is supposed to be Silver Beach which, according to every website (tripadvisor, etc.) that I could find is one that the Chinese advertised as “the best beach in the whole universe!,” and most people seemed to comment that, it wasn’t quite that good. Not bad, but not great. So, unless there looked like there would be an amazing sunset, I had no plans whatsoever to go there. (Since the sky wasn’t looking particularly cooperative, I made the easy call of not going the few kilometers out of town to hit this beach.)
I got back to the hotel near downtown sometime around noon and checked in. I stayed in the same place I’d slept Friday. Black Pearl Hotel or something along those lines. Unlike Friday night, when I didn’t get checked in until 10:00 at night and had no time to see anything in Beihai, I would at least have an afternoon and evening this time around. (Friday night in Beihai wasn’t pleasant at all; I had a hard time finding an open restaurant and met some of the rudest people I’ve come across outside of Shanghai. When I did find a restaurant, though, those folks were perfectly hospitable with me.)
This particular Sunday, I had (a mediocre) lunch in the hotel restaurant, where I managed to lose my room key…which I would eventually find about thirty minutes after leaving. (It took me about that long to explain to people in Chinese that I couldn’t find it and where I thought I’d lost it. I eventually found it on my own back at the restaurant.)
Since there wasn’t much that I was interested in seeing or doing in Beihai, I relaxed for the afternoon and went out around 4:00 to head to Old Town. This is basically one street that looked…somewhat interesting. Old Town is where Beihai’s older residents live. It’s a collection of restored 19th century buildings, in Chinese arcade style, with a few of note: a former post office, the Maruichi Pharmacy (which has its own history that involved potential espionage for the Japanese during World War II), the Shengping Jie Archway, and a handful of restaurants.
I didn’t have terribly high photographic expectations here, but not terrible enough that I didn’t want to shoot. The sky wasn’t being particularly cooperative in my opinion…threatening rain. However, I managed to get a few shots that were interesting enough for me (presented here, obviously) and I had an absolutely wonderful dinner at a Thai restaurant called Nirvana. The environment of the restaurant was quite nice, as was the food. I had spring rolls, a mango chicken dish, and another mango smoothie (but the smoothie was nowhere near as good as the one I’d gotten on Weizhou Island on Saturday evening).
After strolling up and down the street (up while it was still light, and back after it had gotten a bit dark), I called an unofficial end to the holiday and retired to the hotel.
Monday morning, I had a bullet train to take me back to Nanning, with a 7:00 p.m. flight back to Chengdu. That would give me a day in Nanning. I had spent time online researching tourist attractions, parks, museums, anything interesting in Nanning that I could see on a Monday. I also tried to find some good restaurant reviews (I ended up choosing an Indian restaurant) for places to eat. If you haven’t read the previous days’ summaries, I’ll remind everyone what all I loved about Nanning here: …(keep waiting…). Ok. There you have it. Like Lanzhou three weeks before, I spent hours upon hours waiting in the airport for my flight back home, which was completely uneventful, and I was glad to have my second spring vacation done. The next major vacation would be a little farther off, in late September…for two weeks in India. Stay tuned…

He was doing his courtship dance, booming and song. He did not know all the older prairie chickens had already taken the females. Kinda of reminded me of some teenage boys trying to get the attentioin of girls who wanted nothing to do with them.

A rare (less than 20 couples in the Alps) adult bearded vulture flying over my head during a hike. Elevation around 1600m.
There are 2 couples of bearded vulture nesting in the Bargy Chain, the 20km long mountain chain over Le Grand Bornand.
The first couple is made of Balthazar - the male and Assignat - the female, respectively reintroduced in 1988 and 1989. It was the first couple reintroduced in the French Alps, after bearded vulture has disappeared from this area at the beginning of the XXth century. Since then, Balthazar & Assignat have bred over 15 young chicks that have successfully left the nest and scattered, making this couple the most prolific in the french Alps.
A second couple has settled in the Bargy chain around 2015, breeding their first chick shortly after.
Overall, based on the latest census (2019), the Haute-Savoie Department counts around 5 couples and 20 bearded vulture including youngs. Numbers are on rise, as the high number on ongulates (chamois, deers, ibex) let largely enough cadavers to feast ..
How unfortunate that politicians, some who previously ran the Board of Education, expressed their poor grammar skills, (Less does not equal Lest - this was verified as being intentional after speaking with the Mayor).
This was the second granite stone etched for the memorial, removing the thanks to the emergency services workers, to thank our troops defending our pride and freedom. I guess some have already forgotten about what happened on September 11, 2001.
