Mingle with the Stars

September 5th, 2007 admin

Matthew Arkin and Barbara Dana are coming to town and you can meet them! Ok so I have never heard of them either. Though through a little Googling I did find out Matthew was once in an episode of Kojak, with Tony Curtis even. And Barbara was once on Sesame Street. There is some obscure trivia you can throw at them when you meet them.

They will be in town for the premiere movie, Raising Flagg, of the TriMedia Film Festival at the Lincoln Center Friday night.  Let me know if you need a ticket.

Pods and Blooms from Brooklyn

September 4th, 2007 admin

You may have noticed some recent growth on the side of Prospect Road on your way to I-25. The sculptures are entitled “Pods and Blooms” and they are part of the Fort Collins Art in Public Places.

The pieces were created by May & Watkins Design from Brooklyn, New York. And judging from their web site it seems May & Watkins is some sort of public art factory, not much personality to the “biography.” You can find it here.

The large size of the pieces work well  close to a road such as Prospect as I am sure most viewers will be checking the sculptures out at 45 miles an hour. Up close and at a stand still the pieces are very simple with little detail and a fast coat of paint. I took a few shots during a recent bike ride. (see below)
