Dia: Beacon

Dia: Beacon....the Excellent Space for Art Work



The entrance...



Robert Irwin... designs this garden piece for Dia.




Lim Knoebel's colorful paintings....are super suitable for this bright and high space~



My reflection and...the main gallery is just behind the door.


You cannot take any pictures inside...><, so I found some images from Internet.



Richard Serra....


There are fore big "cylinders" sitting in the space. Only one gap lets andience walk in. It provides another special experience toward space. Accompanying with the movement of viewers, we can watch the skylilne, hear the unknown sound, observe the texture of steel and feel the pushing power from artwork.

You can see more from MoMa: http://moma.org/exhibitions/2007/serra/flash.html

My favorite-Sol LeWitt~

Instead of calling him an artist, maybe I should call him a mathematician, programer or a scientist.



Dia is a very good place for visiting. If you have any chance, just stop by...7 dollars for students.

When I was in Chicago....

The home of public art~Windy City



Dear Laura, I saw your work...in the subway station.

I felt a little embarrassed because I will say something about Chicago in front of America people. If I say anything wrong, please correct and tell me. Thank you~


First, Chicago spent lot of money on collecting and inviting artists to create various public art works. Among them, Millennium Park attracts everyone's attention. If you want to know more...check this: http://www.millenniumpark.org/artandarchitecture/

Besides, there are a bunch of master piece in this city. Ha, I admited I was a tourist, so I took a lot of pictures. However, it is really exciting to witness all master works in person, because I known them only from text books before.

City girl goes back city.

Hello, folks
After living in Savannah for 10 months, a city girl goes back city, again.
Crossing Pacific Ocean, from Taipei, Savannah to New York, I am here again.
This is not my first time visiting NYC but she is still attractive and fresh.

I am still waiting for my studio and looking forward to all coming exhibitions in September.
I miss all of you guys, no matter where I am.
