Thursday evening I went out to Coney Island with the
Creative Council and the
Whitney Contemporaries to see the
Creative Time-sponsored
The Dreamland Artist Club. We drank beer, got hot, and—in my very happy case—won a ltd. ed. Sol Lewitt scarf (Yes!).
There was so much of the lovely and wondrous that my little heart was going pitter-patter at an alarming rate. Thankfully, there were no accidents. Everybody should take the D, F, N, or Q to Coney Island and dig these righteous riffs. Confusion is not only next; it's also fun. I'm talking about the delicious moments when I wasn't sure whether or not signage was part of the installation. Os Gemeos and Swoon (Sadly, I didn't use my camera right and there's no pics of Swoon.) were my two faves, but there were oh, so many others. Heres a bunch and a bushel . . .
Welcome back my friends . . .

Inside.

Symbolica!

Man. I don't know who the artist is but I dig it. They shoot. They score.

Word.
Word. Word. Word.

And just to prove my confusion, I never figured out if this was part of the show or not. Biggie and Tupac: Only a polar bear DJ could bring them together. Ride, captains, ride!


Oh, and check it. Definitely the best prize I've ever won for shooting a squirtgun into the mouth of a clown until the balloon on top of his head explodes.
