So, I'm a little late posting these last 4 visits because our house got hit with the flu-to-wallop-them-all...but, Friday #7 actually happened on Saturday (12/22/12), and I went with Adam...we ended up looking at a lot of edges that day....
Sticker proof of presence on a sphere with edges...
MAM was crowded after a kids' holiday concert...
And this gorgeous Steinway was at the edge of the gallery breezeway, sitting there in its dusty splendor, begging for donations so it can continue being played at the museum...(for special events)...
Into gallery space, Adam took some striking pictures that day...like 80's permed Dee Snyder/St.George carved in wood (Note: his spear has been taken away for safety reasons I presume, although there's a case of weapons behind glass not far away...kind of emasculating, to have his spear confiscated...)
Like I said, Adam was looking at the edges of things, like shadows between display pedestal boxes...
The edges and sharpness of my face...
And here's what I'm looking at in the picture above, "Dance Under the Linden Tree, (1881)", by German painter Lugwig Knaus. Lots of kids playing, people eating...
...and then I found my autistic son Liam's Doppelgänger, on the far left edge of the crowds, spaced out, there but somehow other...
Was this autism in rural Germany in the 19th century? It sure looks like it to me....
(Liam under his Linden Tree, Fall 2012)...
In the MAM, there are lots of edges...away from the gallery space...not on display, but still art in a way...
And then, how can we talk about edges without looking at some Cubist paintings? Dazzling how those painters broke space itself, the two dimensions of the canvas into so many edges....
Last, back to the living room to sit on the edge of lake for a few quiet moments....
And to get sleepy...
And to admire the "Sci-fi sky", as Adam' noted....
See you next week.
