Vive La France!




Good to be in Paris to see the stoic reaction of the people living and working here.  Live goes on and I feel that small good deeds made makes everybody feel good.  President Hollande asked everybody to 
show flags and demonstrate patriotism.  Glad to report that very few followed his advice. Some showed the tricolor in a personal way.

Of course the National buildings - like the Palais Royale - went for it and the full moon timidly went into hiding.

More Site-specific Art


There is a lot of space in the West wing in the MFA. In the east side looking up from the ground floor one discovers this bulging ceiling installation by Tara Donovan. What is this surprising biomorphic form?  A giant wasp nest?  The title "Untitled (2003)" is not informative.


Looking closer we realize that with styrofoam cups and hot glue and ingenious creativity, the artist created a sculpture which surprises and delights.
