For some unknown reason, which I will speculate about later in this post, fragments of an absurd dialog from a play have been floating around in my head. I plugged those fragments into Google and was delighted to find the script of a play I saw in the late 1960’s. Mrs. Martin: In the street,…… Continue reading Theater of the Absurd

Ghostly Nutcracker
On my walk through the Minneapolis North Loop: a ghostly Nutcracker and Rat Queen in a store window. The costumes would normally be worn by members of the Minnesota Dance Theater at this time of year.
Yarn Bombs
On our walk, spotted these yarn bombs. A sign reminded us today is the winter solstice, and invited us to take one of the macramé stars. We didn’t take one, a photo sufficed. “From this point forward we begin our journey back to the light.”
Brackett Park Rocket
On my cycle ride, stood under the Brackett Park rocket. Originally a piece of playground equipment from around the time of President Kennedy’s moonshot speech, it’s now a sculpture.
Japanese Mural
On my cycle ride through Nordeast Minneapolis, stopped to enjoy this mural by Japanese artist Yuya Negishi.
Yes, it’s Art
On my walk through a University of Minnesota campus: three steel lattice beams set in concrete. I recall these were removed during a remodel, and the contractor got permission to create this installation. For some reason, it’s not included in the university’s list of public art.
Fresh Snow on I-Beams
Looked out at the Molecule sculpture in Gold Medal Park: bright red I-beams, detailed with a layer of fresh snow, lit by the rising morning sun.
Live Orchestra
Tonight we have front row seats for a live Minnesota Orchestra performance. In different times, we’d be at Orchestra Hall.
Molecule
Cycled through a sculpture called “Molecule” near the Molecular and Cellular Biology Building on the University of Minnesota’s East Bank Campus. Learned via Google it doesn’t depict a specific molecule.
