"One Floor Up More Highly" by Katharina Grosse


I had to share these images of Katharina Grosse’s spectacular installation that is making me whine about living so far from the East Coast. Grosse’s “One Floor Up More Highly” at the MASS MoCA juxtaposes stark-white, glacial forms with raw, rich and energetic colors on a scale that dwarfs the viewer. From the exhibition images, it looks like visitors are wandering through a Technicolor, punk-rock version of Superman’s Fortress of Solitude. And who wouldn’t want to do that?

A Short Worth Watching: "Idiot with a Tripod" (a.k.a. "Man in a Blizzard")



Great rhythm, imagery, humor, technical expertise, and even a plot line compacted into this short taken during a New York blizzard on Dec. 26th. Even getting Oscar buzz. It reminds me of silent movies and Citizen Cane. I especially love the transition from black-and-white to color and back again.
