the weekend…
at the art festival by the sea…
Rockaway! celebrating the ongoing recovery of the Rockaway Peninsula in new york city.
(remember my day of volunteering after Hurricane Sandy a couple of years ago?)
~~~
The exhibition includes an array of works by Patti Smith…
but the most notable of which is Smith’s installation…
A Rockaway Beach resident herself, Smith installed an ethereal gold and white bed inside an abandoned locomotive repair facility, still littered with debris and graffiti. The building is missing windows and part of its roof, and as the season wears on, the bed will wear down physically, while still remaining in place—a powerful testament to the endurance of the Rockaways.
“a symbol of courage and resilience…”
“It’s with stones that we rebuild….”
And rebuilt they have…
a dreamers dream, absolutely creative and i love the contrast between the considered trashy graffiti and marvelous gold bed… you really got that lighting… love it
WOW!!! I love it. What a powerful statement for sure! As always, you captured every detail to perfection frissy. Thank you so much for sharing. Love, hugs, and MORE!!!
Don’t you wonder how in the world they think these things up, Robin! It blows my mind.
Enchanting , dreamy . The princess has left her unmade bed to follow her prince.What a beautiful atmosphere .
LOVE!
Ah…
