When my daughter Laurie and I attended the ANIMODULES Good day Reception and Founders Talk at the Nassau County Museum of Art last month, I was revisiting the sculptures, and she was seeing the creative Agents of Peace for the first fourth dimension.

From LONG Island – by Ann Parry (ann-parry.com)
July 16, 2019

Deciding to take reward of the nice-in-the-shade weather the get-go weekend in July, my friend Bob and I went to the Nassau Canton Museum of Art on Sunday, the last day of its "That 80s Show" showroom. I too looked forward to seeing Animodules at the Manes Center, and new outdoor sculptures past conceptual artist Marko Remec.

After parking, we walked upwards the path leading to the Saltzman Art Edifice, when I saw Pamela, a friend and boyfriend photographer, a few yards away from the states, chatting with someone as they headed toward the parking lot.

Later getting Pamela's attending, we laughed… for ever since the exhibit opened, nosotros'd planned to meet it, but atmospheric condition and scheduling conflicts got in our fashion. Now, serendipity had landed us at the aforementioned space at the same fourth dimension, so we could at least capture a few photos by the "Daughter on a Bike" (1964) sculpture by Bruno Lucchesi.

(© 2019 Ann Parry/Ann-Parry.com)

After renewing my membership, I entered a spacious gallery hung with five huge paintings and a few smaller, though not small, ones. [Run across to a higher place photo]

Since the gallery was part of the "That 80s Show" exhibit, it wasn't chance the artists and I shared birthdays within most ten years of each other.

Ii of the artists died at tragically young ages, and, as I feared, it was of tragically times-related causes. Jean-Michel Basquiat was simply 27 when he died in 1984 of a heroin overdose. Tseng Kwong Chil was only 40 when he died in 1990 of an AIDS-related illness – which, most the aforementioned time, stole my much missed, musically gifted brother in his thirties.

More than once, I was struck how visitors looking at artwork impacted, even transformed, the experience. The in a higher place photo of a man looking at works from the"Men in the Cities" series by Robert Longo is ane example, and a different homo most a different lithograph past Robert Longo is another.

Animodules – an original urban art form of nonviolent super heroes – were on display both inside and outside the Manes Heart. They filled the big room with a positive, vibrant free energy.

These Agents of Peace were commencement created at the Barat Foundation, a non turn a profit in Newark, New Bailiwick of jersey.

Final Reflections

Maybe in part because I'k addicted of (literally) shiny things, I'm a fan of Marko Remec's three outdoor sculptures commissioned by the Nassau County Museum of Art.

Remec'due south "The Vertebrate Progression (Field Totem)" was a short brand-your-own-path walk from the Manes Center, and typically would be viewed from the route, where ane wouldn't notice a couple of dome mirrors were damaged and some were removed from the end.

The convex dome mirrors of the other two sculptures – the 26-foot-tall "Would That I Wish For (Tall Totem)" [encounter feature photograph at top of this post] and the horizontal "NYET" – were fine off the ground on well-beaten paths.

Even if the sweaty-in-the-open up-field weather didn't stop me from spending quite every bit much time every bit I'd like to capture far and close upwardly views of the Field Totem, I'd want to render with my Nikon during each of the seasons.
