Installations

From two installations that graced our fair isle the past year.

Afternoon window at the old Essex Street Market, site of Mike Nelson's "A Psychic Vacuum":

I really enjoyed this piece.  Hard to describe though; ya had to be there.

Next is a scene from Damien Hirst's "School:  The Archaeology of Lost Desires, Comprehending Infinity, and the Search for Knowledge," (oy!) installed in the lobby of Lever House:

The child is not part of the work, but everything else is.  Oy.

My (very brief) 2 cents:  Crap.  Hirst is not always bad, but this was awful.  I hope he's in on the joke.
