Eno and Nasher





Fun today. Hiking at Eno River, where I go at least once a year. In the afternoon, a trip to the Nasher Museum to see the new exhibit---Between Past and Future: New Photography and Video from China. Here's what's written about the exhibit on Nasher's website, www.nasher.duke.edu.
*****
Between Past and Future: New Photography and Video from China offers the first comprehensive look at innovative photo and video art produced in China since the mid-1990s. The exhibition features 130 works by 60 Chinese artists, many of whom are exhibiting in this country for the first time. Their works, often ambitious in scale and experimental in nature, present a range of highly individual responses to the unprecedented changes now taking place in China’s economy, society and culture. In addition to introducing a remarkable body of work to American audiences, the exhibition also provides insight into the dynamics of Chinese culture at the start of the 21st century.

The exhibition was was curated by Wu Hung, professor of art history at the University of Chicago and consulting curator at the Smart Museum, and Christopher Phillips, curator at the International Center of Photography

M's first art installation

My son and I went exercising at the gym this morning (Feb. 2, 2019). We had physical and mental workouts, and I was full of pride to see him put together this exhibit. He called it, "Train." The work is abstract, with the cone symbolizing the engine and the ball can be pictured as "balls of steam" that roll out of the chimney or exhaust system! Train

3D metal printing

I've worked with stainless steel in the machine shop, and it isn't exactly the easiest metal to drill or lathe. So to be able to print it, wow. Another interesting company is Shapeways. Here's a video (not metal printing in this case though).
