Monday in Long Island City

Today we are having a break from Manhattan and heading for the more 'ordinary' Long Island

But for Monday Motivation I start with a swim.  Here is the view from the Health Club

 

And below  is a Long Island Street Scene

First stop on Long Island is the Sculpture Center

 

We really love Sam Anderson's The Park.  Sam has created a series of newly commissioned sculptures and video work for SculptureCenter's lower level galleries.  Figures and objects that inhabit oddly familiar relationships to the site and viewer. Often depicting intimate and internal dynamics, the arrangements are formal as well as psychological, effects expressed through repetition and mutations in scale and style. Using a range of found and made materials to construct her scenes, each work borrows from language as well as personal history to question how memory and emotion is indexed.

 

Also brilliant is Teresa Burga's  Mano Mal Dibujada.  Read about Teresa and this exhibition

here

Lastly we are just as impressed by Charlotte Prodger's Subtotal

Charlotte grew up in Northern Scotland and is clearly keen on picts. 

Next stop is a burrito!
