..while I sat upstairs censoring the master students from the Art Academy in Bergen on Zoom. As a highly appreciated bonus, he also changed my hot water tank. A multitalent. Congratulations, plumber, you have passed.
Alderney Man
Another view of the sculpture "Alderney Man" by Anna Gillespie, as he looks out over Braye Bay on the island of Alderney. He will be there for the Summer, apparently :)
The Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (MASS MoCA) occupies a converted factory building complex occupying 13-acres in North Adams, Massachusetts. It is one of the largest centers for contemporary visual art in the United States. The complex was originally built by the Arnold Print Works, which operated on the site from 1860 to 1942. MASS MoCA opened in 1999 with 19 galleries and 100,000 sq ft (9,300 m2) of exhibition space. It is large enough to put on exhibitions in individual buildings for extended periods - a Sol Lewitt building has five stories full of work conceived by him (and executed by others) on display until 2033; another building contains three large-scale installations by Anself Keifer on display until 2028.
The Boiler Room is one of the buidlings and when I was there it contained an installation of audio art. And old boiler room stuff that was highly photogenic.
Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie, Jardin botanique, 4101, rue Sherbrooke Est, Montréal, Québec, H1X 2B2
Description de l’œuvre :
The First Jewel est une sculpture installée dans la roseraie du Jardin botanique de Montréal. Cette ronde-bosse de bronze recouverte d’une patine foncée représente une jeune fille au torse nu vêtue d’un foulard et d’une étoffe drapée servant de robe. Ses bras, à demi repliés vers l’avant, tenaient à l’origine entre ses deux mains un collier de perles. Alors que la peau du personnage est relativement texturée, les tissus sont plutôt lisses et traités avec réalisme.
Dans cette œuvre, le monde onirique et la banalité se rencontrent dans ce personnage sans émotion apparente, mais absorbé dans ses rêveries. La proposition de Winant exprime ainsi ces évasions qui ponctuent et agrémentent la réalité quotidienne.
L’œuvre est exemplaire de la première période de création de l’artiste, celle où des bronzes représentent fréquemment des personnages liés à la famille et souvent féminins, vêtus de grands drapés. Comme pour The First Jewel, ces personnages au visage peu expressif exhalent un sentiment de paix et de plénitude.
Biographie :
Alice Winant est née en Roumanie en 1928. Elle y pratique la photographie jusqu’à ce qu’elle soit incarcérée en 1944, à Auschwitz et à Bergen-Belsen. Elle obtient sa formation en sculpture auprès de Carl Helbig à Stockholm, à sa libération en 1945. Elle décide par la suite de s’installer au Canada, en 1953, mais ce n’est qu’en 1968, à l’âge de 40 ans, qu’elle entreprend sa pratique sculpturale.
Son travail est maintenant représenté dans plusieurs collections privées au Canada, aux États-Unis, en Europe et au Japon.
Exploring art at the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts, Norwich UK ... a fabulous exhibition where you can acutally enter some of the installations... a lot of fun. Reflections, textures... if you like taking through glass and reflections go take some pics. FREE! This gentleman is seen contemplating the painting from the hammock.

Yayoi Kusama (草間 彌生, Kusama Yayoi, born 22 March, 1929) is a Japanese contemporary artist who works primarily in sculpture and installation, but is also active in painting, performance, film, fashion, poetry, fiction, and other arts. Her work is based in conceptual art and shows some attributes of feminism, minimalism, surrealism, Art Brut, pop art, and abstract expressionism, and is infused with autobiographical, psychological, and sexual content. She has been acknowledged as one of the most important living artists to come out of Japan.
Kusama was raised in Matsumoto, and trained at the Kyoto School of Arts and Crafts in a traditional Japanese painting style called nihonga.[2] Kusama was inspired, however, by American Abstract impressionism. She moved to New York City in 1958 and was a part of the New York avant-garde scene throughout the 1960s, especially in the pop-art movement.[3] Embracing the rise of the hippie counterculture of the late 1960s, she came to public attention when she organized a series of happenings in which naked participants were painted with brightly coloured polka dots.[4][5] Since the 1970s, Kusama has continued to create art, most notably installations in various museums around the world.
