oh, the places you'll go...
On Sunday, I went with a friend (whom I hadn't seen in far too long) to the City Museum, in Saint Louis. This is a former shoe factory, that was rebuilt into a... playland for adults and children? ...architectural museum of St. Louis? ...inner-city outsider art version of a roadside attraction? I don't even know what to call it. It's dense with creations and possibilities to create. As Stephanie said "this place is lousy with slides". I've never been in a building and felt so catapulted to someplace else. Your standard, commercial amusement park is simply plastic and uninteresting compared to this; glass and thin plastic as compared to cement, iron, and whimsical truths.
I think I'm doing more telling than showing... but this place is so dense, I don't even know what to say. Except, perhaps, that I intend to do something of the sort to my own house, within it's own scale.
My friend Steph, whom crawled through tunnels, caves, stairs and oddities at the City Museum with me is pretty amazing. See her phtography work here, at secondlaw.net. As good as the photos are, so are her reason for taking them. Take the time to read while on her site.
Ok, more rings to do tomorrow. Good stuff. Perhaps it won't be literally 100º in the studio tomorrow. That might help.
g'nite.
