Meet Me in St. Louis, Joe

In 2006 I found that I had Southwest Airlines miles that were about to expire, and the Pulitzer Foundation in St. Louis had an exhibit of Hiroshi Sugimoto’s photographs of Richard Serra’s Joe. All of this housed in the Pulitzer Foundation’s building by Tadao Ando!

I spent almost the entire day there, wandering inside and out. They didn’t allow photographs inside, but Joe was outside, just guarded very carefully to stop anyone from touching it! I spent so much time there, chatting with staff, that a guard offered to show me the non-public spaces of the building. But still no pictures inside.

Searching for Richard Serra

In our 2006 visit to Dia Beacon, I wandered into the room with Richard Serra’s Torqued Ellipses, and immediately feeling a sense of weightlessness in response to the weight of those 3 pieces in that seemingly small room. I floated!

Alas, they too did not allow photographs of the galleries, so I have this one to support my memory of buoyancy.

Portland Photographers at Alberta Street Gallery

For those of you who don’t follow me on Instagram (link below) I have some prints on exhibit with 3 other Portland Photographers at Alberta Street Gallery! Opening night was last Thursday, but the show will be up until November 20. If you are in Portland, I hope you will stop by.

See below for my photos in the show:
