Postscript NY

New York was fantastic, really.  I saw more art than I probably will ever see in an eight day period.  To be honest I don't think I could handle seeing that much art that quickly again, but maybe.  Anyway, its been a while since the trip and I'm still getting things out of it.  It has been a long process of unpacking all of that imagery and it has certainly fueled a lot of my own artwork over the past month.  Seeing so much art and such a variety of it really opened my eyes and helped me locate the type of work that I am currently making and the type of work that I would like to make in the future.  My favorite place has to be Dia:Beacon followed closely by Sculpture Center.  Both of these places show considerable, almost religious respect to the artists that they exhibit.  Dia:Beacon is certainly the zen garden of art museums and the train ride up on a late winter morning is a beautiful experience in itself.  Go there!  Lots of other great experiences including fun times with all the kids from the group and a couple of cool french girls too!
