Research regarding our latest trip unearthed the following:
In the late 1920’s (best guess) author Aldous Huxley described Florence, Italy as “a third-rate provincial town, colonized by English sodomites and middle-aged Lesbians.”
Never read that in the tourist guides.
Last week was one of art installation.
That’s not me up on the genie lift, I was part of the ground crew. The artist is Aurora Robson, the piece is called “Lift”, it looks gorgeous, and you can find it here.
Local arts blogger Robert Boyd found some pre-installation pix from NYC blog C-Monster.
Also, helped with installing some of the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft’s Iron: Forged, Tempered show. I’ll spare the adjectives, just go see it. Plan on enjoying the metal works, be pleasantly surprised by the other great exhibitions.
