49th St & 7th Ave on the N,R,W. According
to Forgotten NY's Modern Subway page, this
was the first of the Burnt Orange stations
and the groovy color was chosen by Philip
Johnson himself.
I would love to see an apartment building
clad in this shocking color instead of usual
white-glazed brick.

More Chelsea gallery hopping. A cute installation of
sculputres by Donald Lipski on 26th St. Here is an article
with photos of other sculptures and another jargon-full
artforum essay.
Some photos of Bolivia, as the country descends
into chaos. The New Yorker ran a good story about
water privatization which shows the resentment
generated by well-intentioned programs run corruptly.
It's good for understanding the context of the present
crisis.

Richard Serra sculptures currently on view at Gagosian
in Chelsea thru 10/25/03. In the same style as the Torqued
Spirals now on view at Dia Beacon. My friend Andrew
compared the affect of walking inside of these to ascending
the Duomo in Florence between the interior and exterior domes
as they bend and and converge at the top.

The newly rebranded Lukoil on 10th & 24th.
I missed Vladamir Putin's recent visit for a donut.
Back in New York.

Summer´s all gone in Bryant Park. Some BID´s
got a lot of money to resod the entire lawn but
I guess that´s an after-effect of the fashion shows.
The fact that i´m in madrid right now writing this
belies the fact that the pics on this blog are always
about a week behind.

Garages, New York.
In Madrid right now. Hola. I do see that this
internet place has a usb port. perhaps uploading
photos mid-journey is feasible. something to
remember.

I've put all these pictures on a separate page.
I'm off to Spain until 10/13 so postings
will be sparse. I won't be posting any pics
of Spain when I get back either. Digital
cameras just aren't for traveling longer than
a weekend. Instead I'll be using my trusted
Olympus XA, still my favorite small camera.
