Start the day with pre-breakfast of coffee and steamed milk, scone and muffin from the in-house dining spot
then breakfast
THB has what appears to be the smallest portion possible: it barely covers the bottom of the bowl
the hotel is not full or we would all be cramming into the one working elevator, this one is stuck on 7
to get a bathtub we are in an "accessible" room; there's no room for the key activation spot
we're back in the van minus our baggage so now everyone gets their own seatbelt including RR who is again joining us for the day
Stop 1: back to Cleveland and the Museum of Art (it is around 25 minutes from Akron)
uncensored
Takaezu
Kiefer
One of the best installations ever: Anne Hamilton searched thru CMA and transformed little seen objects on very large panels hung around a large gallery. Awesome!!!
How excited was THB? He stopped a family of 5 (three generations) and gave them a 20 second docent speech...THAT had never happened before.
Simone Leigh
Mihara Ken (one of his pieces is in our collection)
mirror in the stairwell??
THB thinks the artist cropped this piece
the title: The Rock Thought It Was A Bird
really ancient work...could have been in an NCECA show
unceensored
Movie producers were considering optioning one of THB's mom's books. As a "gift" they gave her a Fritz Scholder lithograph. Don't know where it is now.
we're looking for a lunch spot...it is Sunday and several places were closed
closed
closed
Stop 2 The Harp is open! good sandwiches, THB has a local brewski (brewery is 2 blocks away): excellent
Stop 3:RR has arranged a private collection tour with friends of his who relo'd to Cleveland. They bought a 3 story building and renovated it, and they have mostly photography. O Spaces is on 1.
Uncensored, shot directly on to the photographic paper (behind the model?), no negative. Too technical to explain (THB is no photography tecchie). Definitely one of a kind
this pic clearly shows the Central Michigan Terminal's punched out windows we saw in 2012
everyone is a Talking Head fans. Apparently RR had lunch with David Byrne.
THB's pic is too subtle to see the figure clearly
Stop 4: Akron Art Museum
Huge! And stunning
Jenny Holzer
Larry Bell, so subtle THB missed it on first pass
The chief curator is giving us the museum tour and we get a sneak preview of the Kent Montman show opening April 10. THB will do a post that day with pics of what was a very good show.
Garden dedicated to RR's parents
Stop 5: Dinner at Blue Door, AR joins us
THB is slow to get pics of shared desserts
