My neighbors invited me to accompany them to the Carnegie Museum of Art for the opening reception of Storyteller: The Photographs of Duane Michals. The exhibition was curated by Linda Benedict- Jones and is quite impressive, requiring a return visit to take the show in when it’s less crowded.
In the Hall of Sculpture after the remarks, i was standing on the lighted glass floor and so were three others. Our 4 pairs of black shoes with the light coming from the floor below.
Photographer Martha Rial and I had our phones out, capturing the pattern. I call it One Shiny Shoe.
Where the light comes from below
Here is a man looking closely at the photos of Andy Warhol and his mother Julia.
When I got to the refreshments table there were a few grapes
Some of you saw this on FB already but here I am in the Hall of Architecture under the artwork “The Piano” by Chilean Artist Sebastian Errazuriz
I asked a random museum goer if he’d take my photo. He’d already taken a selfie under the 800 pound piano.
When I showed this photo to the high school students, they said I was crazy to stand under it. I said, wouldn’t it be funny to have a tall ladder and some hedge clippers? They groaned.
Mark said it looked like I was in a Looney Tune.
One shiny shoe is a fitting title for that 1st photo. I love the way the shoes appear as though seen through a kaleidoscope. Before my eyes started flirting with my sanity, I used to like to mirror fabric patterns to use in quilting projects. That photo brings back memories. I really like the ‘stacked’ effect of the 2nd photo down as well. Cool angles, and lightening, in my opinion.
You are definitely a more interesting subject then a hanging piano, but the piano makes the picture more interesting.
Not sure I woul stand under that piano. You are brave!
the first image is a work of art!!!
Ha – Yes. I definitely see the Looney Tunes association in that last photo. 🙂
Great pic of you! That must have been a hungry crowd – or a miserly party planner. 🙂
