Dia:Beacon


Dia, originally uploaded by wepickpockets.

While my little vacation ended up being a bust (it was an everything that can go wrong, will go wrong vacation) Dia:Beacon ended up being worth the stress of the rest of the trip. It was breath taking, and we agreed that we have never seen art in a more beautiful place in our lives.



If you do go my reccommendation to you is to go for a day trip as the closest town with affordable hotels sucks big time. Either take the Metro-North up or better yet rent a car and drive up as it's only an hour and half away from nyc. Since we went up on July 4th everything in the surrounding town was closed, so I can't vouch for what it has to offer.


Louise Bourgeois


Richard Serra

All photos were taken by Billy because I was too nervous to defy the strict no-photos policy.

There are some of those Richard Serra ship-looking things in the Olympic Sculpture park near where I work... but it looks much more menacing in a hallway like that.
