Dia:Beacon Revisited



You may remember my first Dia:Beacon post from about a year ago. A second visit this past weekend proved to be just as inspiring, if not more so. The "green room" by Dan Flavin (actually called untitled (to you, Heiner, with admiration and affection)) was the strangest alternate reality in that your brain is so overloaded with green that it tricks you into seeing purple. There's a window in that room and when I looked outside after my eyes adjusted, the trees, sky, and grass appeared purple. Crazy. I continue to admire the work of Agnes Martin, Fred Sandback, Sol LeWitt, Robert Ryman, Blinky Palermo, and Richard Serra (works pictured below).











Wearing //
Tank - T by Alexander Wang (but have you seen the new luxe drape collection from Everlane? Hello, this is a great dupe for a fraction of the price.)

    1. They run a tad big but it's ok in the summer since my feet swell! So I went with my normal size.

  2. I love your style and the photos you take. What camera are you using? I've always been interested in photography but only now starting to seriously consider investing in a good camera. Thanks!

    1. Right now I mostly use a Sony A7r II and an Olympus Pen F (which is what this post was shot with).

      Cheers

  4. Oh! I would love to visit this museum! I've never seen the work of Richard Serra in person but it always stuns me whenever I see it in a photo.

    On a sidenote, I am glad I found your blog, I really love how you portray museums.
