Okay, I’m here in upper Minnesota. Pics to come soon. It’s cool (60s) and has rained quite a bit in the past few days although, I only arrived yesterday. On the way out of Minneapolis we went by the Walker Art Center’s outdoor sculpture park. They have some major pieces and people love being out there. There’s also an arboretum on the grounds. I didn’t go into the Walker because most of the galleries are closed due to their major renovation and expansion.
Even though Miami Art Museum is planning to expand into a brand new facility, in a different location, having something like this outdoor space would be awesome. Major collector, Marty Margulies doesn’t seem to have any interest in such a project. His sculpture collection is covering the grounds of FIU (Florida International Univ., a state univ. in S.W. Miami). I guess things will just have to be worked out as they develop. I hope things can benefit all of us.
I’ve also attempted to do a daily selfpic over the past few days mimicking clarkelane although, different in purpose I supose. What is the purpose? Whatever the thinking was when I finally decided to do this now, I’m just trying to take daily selfpics without posing, without thinking much about it, without any other purpose than to see myself in my living environment (which I’m not too thrilled with at the moment).
