Arc, Not Arch

.
Arc

Something nice about St. Louis to remember today as we fly to Chicago and then on to Dublin. This is part of Bernar Venet's 2 Arcs X 4, 230.5 Arc X in Citygarden. Benet's work has obvious beauty but the abstract mathematics may be hard to understand.

I'll have a post tomorrow morning if I have time to write one during our layover at O'Hare this afternoon. Something from Dublin shortly thereafter. I got a very nice note and invitation Sunday from one of my readers. He lived in St. Louis for 20 years and has now resided in Dublin for two. He gave us a number of tips about things to see and invited us to meet him for dinner Wednesday night. Needless to say, we accepted.

  5. The patterned buildings behind are the perfect backdrop... more mathematical concepts.

  7. I love good public art and I would give anything to see something this substantial in Pensacola. You two have fun in Dublin.
