Was remembering Walter DeMaria's piece in that field in New Mexico, the other day. Want to go back to that time, and to that place.

Christina and Micah's Wedding Part II
The morning of the wedding, we paid a visit to the yard of Joe Minter, an outsider artist who lives and works in Birmingham. Although we didn't actually get to talk to Mr. Minter, we were able to see a lot of his work in the yard, where he creates sculptures out of found materials dealing with aspects of American history. We heard that he is happy to guide people through his "African Village in America," so we were disappointed that we missed him.
Right next to his yard is a historic black graveyard.
We couldn't spend too long exploring, though, before we had to go back to get pretty for the wedding. Here's Mags in her beautiful blue and gold sari.
She and Micah's best man, Reiner, sang a duet
there was a kiss
and they were married!
And then we got down!
Congratulations Christina and Micah!

NM, yeah it'll be hot
That's the full two week car rental price, holy poo balls! I'm loving this trip already. Hopefully food and lodging is just as affordable. And that we find lots of unsupervised motel pools along the way... Anyone know anything about the supposed secret room at the Dia cabin of the Lightning Field? Also, taking suggestions on absolutely anything to see or do in New Mexico and Arizona--Audrey and I've got two weeks of unfettered exploring ahead of us!

Ringing Out 2008 at Moma
The 31st of December, a few of us went to Moma to check out the Pipilotti Rist and the Marlene Dumas exhibits. Pipilotti Rist's "Pour Your Body Out" was pretty blissfully chill, and made for some great pics:
Being down in it was kind of like being inside a giant lava lamp.
We also went through the Rebus exhibit of Moma holdings curated by artist Vik Muniz. Here's Brooke, Julia, and Ian trying to tell the difference between art and life. (Where's Bich thu?)
Marlene Dumas was excellent btw, but no pictures allowed. Here's one I cadged from the www! This one is less sinister than most of the paintings on view at Moma.

Aeolian Electric
The NYSea Crew descended on Solar One last night to check out Aeolian Electric, an installation curated by our own Elliott Montgomery! There was windpowered art by Elliott that played a Winnie the Pooh song:
And a piece by Eric that flapped bird wings in a slightly creepy, cyborg way:
It was also a chance for some good ol'fashioned hanging out!
It was Nobuko and Julian's year anniversary in New York (which is why they are forming the letters U.S. in this picture)!
Ryan dressed foppishly for the occasion (btw, this picture has me thinking maybe we should all be fops for Halloween):
Sameer pedalled his bs for the camera:
Good clean fun all around:

Flâneur
From Wikipedia
There is no English equivalent for the French word flâneur. Cassell's dictionary defines flâneur as a stroller, saunterer, drifter but none of these terms seems quite accurate. There is no English equivalent for the term, just as there is no Anglo-Saxon counterpart of that essentially Gallic individual, the deliberately aimless pedestrian, unencumbered by any obligation or sense of urgency, who, being French and therefore frugal, wastes nothing, including his time which he spends with the leisurely discrimination of a gourmet, savoring the multiple flavors of his city. (Cornelia Otis Skinner Elegant Wits and Grand Horizontals, 1962, Houghton Mifflin, New York)
