Is it art?...

Over the past week I have posted some selections that interested me during my visit to the MoMA. Other pieces boggled my mind... A solid black canvas... an empty shoebox, placed against a wall... string... bricks... yogurt lids (don't ask)...

So I offer you the following image...



...and I ask you, "Is it art?"

Beneath the bones...

An angle of Pollock...

Life imitates art...

...or vice versa?

Meet Up Long Island...

As of this coming Saturday I will have been posting daily for two years. I recently signed up for a photography meetup group and went to my first gathering at a local art museum. I met some great people and some phenomenal photographers. We walked around the grounds and saw many sculptures and I have a bunch of photos. I'll be sharing them throughout this week and posting the year-end video after the Saturday blog post.

"Our heart belongs to dance."


"I pledge allegiance..."


"I won a cupie doll!"


"It's full of stars!"


"Mummy looks like a daddy!"

Here is the last day that I will be featuring some photos from a recent visit to an art exhibit on Long Island. I hope you enjoy the shots.

Charles Gick: The human relationship with earth’s environment is a tenuous one. So says the artist! With an installed cracked-earth floor, one end of the room has a wall of embedded spoons filled with dirt. The opposite wall contrasts this with a video monitor with a looping image of a brilliant blue sky and a cottony cloud. A human finger pokes and prods the cloud, thoughtlessly pushing aside the only hope in sight for much needed rain.

Charlie Brouwer: Superstitious visitors beware! Ladders stretch from earth to heaven with the promise of peace. Pass under and through them to view the surrounding art throughout the room.

Lorraine D. Weglarz: Here and There. Using delicate threads and embedding them with black sand and crystal, the artist has Greek columns emerging from the ceiling like ghostly apparitions from the past. She reminds viewers that all societies are fragile and finite.

Susan Meyer: Tucked away under a staircase is an acrylic and mixed media utopian city called Together. Based on George Lucas’ film THX 1138 and other sci-fi stories where the achievement of perfection is not happiness, but soul-deadening ennui.
