An LED Bucky Ball in Madison Square Park

Museums, New York City

Named for Buckminster Fuller, a Bucky Ball is a model of a molecule made entirely of carbon. A fullerene, if you will. Artist Leo Villareal has installed in Madison Square Park a giant Bucky Ball installation comprised of 180 LED tubes of ever-changing color. Its quite a sight to behold.

Tatzu Nishi's Discovering Columbus Art Installation

Museums, New York City

Before we were sidetracked by Hurricane Sandy and related posts, last weekend we had tickets to an incredible art installation by Japanese artist Tatzu Nishi. Titled, "Discovering Columbus", Nishi constructed a living room around the Christopher Columbus statue atop a monument six stories above Columbus Circle near Central Park South and Broadway. The effect of the installation is for the statue of Columbus to appear as a work of art in someone's living room. You simply have to see it. This post has 6 photos. Note: this should be the last distribution in a while. We've been cooped up inside all week and the Internet was our only outlet to the real world.

Visit to the Richard Nixon Presidential Library

Visit to the Richard Nixon Presidential Library

Los Angeles, Museums, National Parks, US Travel

A few weeks ago we were in Chino Hills, California to attend a wedding and had a few hours to kill on a Sunday before the ceremony. Consulting a map I was surprised to learn that the Richard Nixon Presidential Library was only about 25 minutes away in Yorba Linda. Nixon is an interesting figure, most known for his disgraceful exit following the Watergate scandal, but he did have a notable political career and was an accomplished diplomat before his presidency imploded. I was curious to see how his legacy would be presented, so we decided to escape the 99 degree heat and visit the museum. This post has 9 photos.
