Entrance


Just some color and texture at the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art in Kansas City. Those aren't plants flanking the entrance. They are Dale Chihuly glass sculptures. Note part of the same sign as in yesterday's post.

I'm pretty hard up for material. Had another camera failure in Kansas. But there are others sitting around the house and two big events to shoot on Saturday. Then the Fringe Festival starts a few days later. Bear with me. 

And happy birthday, M. B. Remember, you'll never catch up to me.

Along Came A Spider


One of the many iterations of Louise Bourgeois's Spider, this one in front of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Kansas City. Louise made a buck or two off this idea. I've seen them at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and London's Tate Modern. No idea how many there are but it is always arresting for the first time viewer. After too many encounters maybe you're ready to reach for a can of Raid.

Note the sign on the wall of the building in the background.

Boo Hoo


Tom Otterness' Crying Giant  in front of the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art in Kansas City. I love this for its absurdity and genuine sorrow. A viewer doesn't know whether to laugh or mourn. 

Off to the farm shortly.
