“The inspiration came from a real encounter Robert Lamm (keyboardist of Chicago) had as a teenager in Brooklyn. When he asked a movie theater usher for the time, the usher cryptically replied, “Does anybody really know what time it is?” This quirky response evolved into a multi-layered existential exploration.”
Oh I wish I were there in person but my son Matthew and granddaughter Prema were in Washington DC. He filmed a short video and I captured a few screenshots from it. Here’s a link to the National Museum of American History Fact Sheet about the exhibition. She donated her Cambridge Massachusetts kitchen to the museum in 2001.
If you’d like to see a few closeups of the objects (a Pyrex measuring cup, the “Forkery”, a ceramic fig, cat and fish prints from the walls etc) in her kitchen you can click the museum’s search pages here
Throwback Thursday. From my grandmother’s album. Durand, Illinois.
This is happening all over the city. It was a very exciting day!
The Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Department checking for lead pipes. Several houses on our street have to have their pipes replaced. We do not.
My grandson called the shovel and dump truck Mighty Machines (which is an educational Canadian Show about all types of vehicles (premiered in 1994) you can find episodes on YouTube.)
You know I have a collection of Urban Madonnas. This is a rusting unused mailbox.
(He’ll be three on the third of November)
