Summer in Annandale-on-Hudson

This is a wonderful meal of organic corn, organic eggs, and what's left of an organic cucumber - all a bit on the yellow and white side of the food chain, but delicious, as it's a product of Community Supported Agriculture in the Hudson Valley.

And below, a couple of lawn sculptures by the excellent Rachel Harrison, outside the Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College.




And inside the Student Center at Bard College - no one in sight. The MFA program is over for the summer.




A walk down the lane brings one to the Fisher Center for Performing Arts designed by Frank Gehry, also known as the potato chip building.



And across the road, a kind of disaster by Olafur Eliasson - a walkway to a bridge to a pond to a middle area - great for kids, right?




Then the oppression of parking lots in the middle of the country on a hot day...and walkways to more parking lots.

Back to the film/video department for some finishing up...meetings, take-out junk food, the dept. in-house coffee station, and the general look of the film/video department at the end of a long summer session.

Frank Gehry's first Manhattan building - the IAC Office Building, West Chelsea

It's hard to get a view of the entire building without standing in the middle of horrendous West Side Highway traffice, but it can be nicely juxtaposed with razorwire adorning the top of the lot across the street.






Yes, it has screens inside that change color. Is it lighting? or is it video? I haven't been inside because the whole show is visible from the street, and the huge amount of glass means lots of reflections, multiples, and an image of everything but the building itself. Supermodernism in action.
