Photos:
Justin and I merge into each other! How is this done? (See next photo to find out.)
It's done with half-silvered mirrors, in Dan Graham's Two-way Mirror Punched Steel Hedge Labyrinth.
This rabbit seems eager to eat the cherry on the spoon! "Hare on Bell on Portland Stone Piers" by Barry Flanagan.
"Spoonbridge and Cherry", by Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen, in the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden.
Spoonbridge and Cherry seen end-on. (This picture looks a bit odd because it was put together from two photographs.)
Ducks! There are ducks in the pond around the Spoonbridge! They like to take a shower in the runoff from the cherry, which spouts water onto itself from the tip of the stem.
Justin tries out his Uri Geller-like mental powers on the Spoonbridge.
Two bridges at the Sculpture Garden: The Irene Hixon Whitney Bridge and the Spoonbridge. (Note: Only one may actually be used as a bridge.)
Nautilus, by Charles Ginnever. A steel sculpture.
Justin poses in front of Nautilus.
A close-up of Nautilus, looking through the largest of its slits.
"Molecule", by Mark di Suvero. Why this sculpture is called "Molecule" I have no idea.
"X With Columns", by Sol LeWitt. Looks sorta like an inside-out library building.
A bizarre installation made of what appear to be floorless tents raised high on poles in the layout of some grand mansion, with beaded cords hanging down from the crossbeams. "Rites-of-Way" by Nari Ward.
The "front entrance" of Rites-of-Way. We actually didn't see this until we'd thoroughly explored the interior of the structure, which we'd entered from the side by "crashing through a wall", pushing some beaded cords aside and stepping in.
Inside the tents at the ends of the installation, wrapped packages addressed with little rectangular designs instead of words dangle from the roof.
Inside the rest of the tents, pictures of lots of odd objects and diagrams decorate the walls.
"Double Curve" by Ellsworth Kelly. I wonder if this piece was inspired by the World Trade Center...
Justin peeks out from the gap between the two tall metal slabs of Double Curve.
The back of Justin's shirt, which says in Latin, "I am not, I was not, I don't care."
It's... a bronze coat... and a white marble chin with lips... okkaaaaaay. "Without Words" by Judith Shea.
