I’m devoting this month’s Flickr Finds to a piece that has been de-installed from our galleries as part of the Eastern Standard exhibition. David Cotrerrell’s South Facing 4:3, was such an intriguing piece to have greeting guests when they got up to the second floor. I was sorry to see it leave our galleries, but I can’t wait to see what will be on the second floor next. Here’s to the next exhibition These Days, which opens on April 4 with equally intriguing work.

PS. Since I was a total slacker in February I will be posting a second Flickr Finds this month. If you would like to see your photos featured here make sure you add them to our Flickr Group for consideration.

On Gian Pablo Villamil’s blog you can see some photos and learn more about his work on Pawel Wojtasik’s new work Below Sea Level which will open April 4 as part of These Days: Elegies for Modern Times.

Matt Bua is still working hard on his detailed Kidspace installation.

This guy greets you when you walk in the door.

Some of Matt’s collections:

carrots

rope

luggage

slides

and he’s still unpacking more every day.

Remember the opening is March 21 11 AM – 5 PM.

When a patron visits our galleries we try to give them many opportunities to share their thoughts with us during and after the visit. One of the ways we do this is by giving visitors a chance to write their own blog entry. Below is an entry we received about Being Here is Better than Wishing We’d Stayed, an exhibition by The Miss Rockaway Armada. Feel free to leave a comment about your own experiences and thoughts about the exhibition at the bottom of this post.

Cheers,

Brittany

The Rockaway Armada truly sings and shines. What a great space to enage kids, parents, free-form creativity. Finally, a wall in a museum one can scribble on!! For the frustrated artist, tired parent, or jaded museum goer, a visit to Rockaway will refresh and reinvigorate.

But, why oh why, don’t the typewriters work well? I had a poem all set to go, but no ribbon. But myabe that was the point. As Thoreau said, “Much is published, but little is printed” – meaning so little of true worth, true poetry comes to the page.

Matt Bua arrived yesterday in a snowstorm and in just 24 hours he’s made enormous progress toward his upcoming installation in Kidspace which opens with a Family Celebration on Saturday, March 21.

He’s creating his installation from hundreds of pieces of detritus — the flotsam and jetsam of life that he has found on city streets.

Here’s a peek inside one of the still-to-be-unpacked crates he brought.

Some of the things he’s already unpacked are batteries,
