Wednesday – 2/15/2107 – Florida trip

After waffles at Flo’s condo we set off for Miami. 

Stopped at three private museums in the Wynwood district: de la Cruz Collection,  The Rubell Family Collection, and The Margulies Collection.

Biggest impact was seeing so much work by Anselm Kiefer at the Margulies and de la Cruz. (de la Cruz would not allow photos.) See Anselm Kiefer – 2/15/2017 in Projects here (opens new tab).

 Very large spaces. Lots of different work. Really liked the Hodges piece:

Played tennis w Ted D. Very windy. Less than good tennis. 

Karen gave her 20th century women photographer lecture for Anne Bertrand-Dewsnap’s art history class at Marist.

Chinese food from Red Chopstick. Very spicy. 

Talked w Harvey Meyerson for 45 minutes. 

Continued to watch Mr. Robot series. 

Wednesday – 12/2/2015 – new office completed, UTM, art opening CGCC

Up early. In office by 8:15 am. Still searching out solutions for problems with Macbook connecting with wifi. Other devices work well, but laptop has trouble connecting and varying speeds. From web search it is clear that my model, late 2013 13″ MBPR is a troubled model with regard to wifi.

Overly long telecon with UTM. Angie Keefer continues to be disciplined and quite good. Ole a bulldog. Seth defensive.

Did other nits. Set up physical therapy appointment for tomorrow at 7:30am.

Final paint on desktop in office. All work now done.

2pm UTM mtg at One City Centre with Seth and Ole to go over presentation to MHM law firm. Ole still doesn’t have details of how things work in his mind. Spole with Brandon Lachterman, send him invoice for work to date.

Pop Up Art (Protest?) at Linear Park

On our way down State St. we came to the new linear park that runs over to Warren St across from the Hudson Opera House. We had earlier noted how unfriendly this is: “Accessibility in New Linear Park“.

When we reached the ramp system, we found a large array of Facebook comments on 8.5×11 pinned to the fence. Not clear who the author is.

Thursday – 3/26/15

More work on getting ready for taxes. Trip to Albany to meet with UAlbany students. Jan there too. Raining and cold.

Walked over to university art gallery. Current show: The Ties That Bind: Artists and Archives.

Most striking is Shane Aslan Selzer’s images in B&W. One image bleeding into the next always preserving elements of the  earlier in the succeeding. Here is a sequence grabbed by iPhone from the video.
