This is the lobby of the new Gramercy Park hotel in New York City. I think it's safe to say that it's on its way to becoming one of the most extraordinary public spaces in New York. It was designed by Julian Schnabel (the NY artist famous for his broken plate paintings) and is owned by Ian Schrager (formerly of the Studio 54 nightclub, now a hotel magnate). I was here to interview Schrager, who must be worth $100m but hangs out in a scruffy T-shirt and jeans. When he approached me I thought he was one of the builders.

We're talking serious art, here. That's a Cy Twombly on the left wall. There are some huge and magnificent Schnabels. It's like walking into a billionaire's mansion. As if the Museum of Modern Art had emptied its collection into Buckingham Palace..

Schrager is famous for his lean, minimalist hotels (think Morgans in NY and the Delano in Miami). But he sold the chain for millions and has turned his back on monochrome. He's going for voluptuous instead.

About half of the hotel's 80 rooms opened this week at a reduced rate while they finish the decorating, train up the staff and sort out the service. It will eventually cost a minimum of $500 a night, but you can sneak in this month for less than $250. Sounds like a bargain to me.....

The Palace of Fine Arts is beautiful during the day but even more beautiful at dusk. My first nightshot attempts of the palace were done well into the night so the sky was all black, which I didn't like. This time around. I made sure I was there as sun set. My only gripe was that I wish the fountain was lighted also. Also, the ripples from the fountain and the breeze didn't allow for crispier reflections off the water of the lagoon.

Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time. 1 Peter 5:6

Adversity is something that I wish I could live without. Sometimes I think that if I could just be a better person and obey God completely, then He would remove all of the hardships and difficulty that seem to surround me.

I’ve learned that God allows and uses adversity in my life to grow me spiritually. The Bible teaches in Psalm 34:19 that Believers should expect adversity, but that we can also rest in God's promise to deliver us from it completely.

I need to have faith and trust in God’s word that He is allowing adversity in my life to bring me closer to Him. My response when I start looking at my adversity from God’s perspective is to humble myself under His hand, and trust fully His promise to deliver and exalt me in due time. The great news is that I know and trust through personal experience that God always keeps His word.

being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ. Philippians 1:6

Have you ever felt like you have failed so many times in your spiritual walk that God has abandoned you? Oftentimes we seem to convince ourselves that unless we can live up to God’s perfect standards that God will have nothing to do with us. The truth is, we are all sinners except Jesus Christ and none of us can live a perfect life in this fallen world.

God’s plan for His children while we are here is to change us to become more like our Lord, Jesus Christ. He is the potter and we are the clay. We want things to happen now, but He knew us and chose us before time began and everything is going perfectly according to His plan.

45 MPH SPEED LIMIT sign: shot up, cut up, tricked out, "seated" and lit.

One of my shot-up roadsign photographic sculptures

So a representative of the Memphis Rock 'n' Soul Museum www.memphisrocknsoul.org dropped off a retired/surplus chair from Hard Rock Cafe on my front porch. I had accepted a call for artists for the museum's "Musical Chair" art auction. My "shot sign" art (see my set) had nothing to do with music, but I welcomed the challenge. I removed the seat from the chair and then spraypainted the frame/back a metallic silver with an overlay of white, which I sanded down to a chalky screen (borrowed from affected shabby chic). Then I took a fragment from a 45 MPH sign (only the number was left) that I had also shot up with .000 buckshot (12 ga.) I misted the sign with black spraypaint, cut a couple of larger holes in the sign, spray-mounted a facsimilie of a Dusty Springfield single label (Son of a Preacher Man) over one of the large holes, then.....hell, I'm getting tired of writing all the specs. Here's the fun part abou the 35mm slide film mounted underneath the sign:

.45 Rounds pre-Millenialist (R.P.M.), portrays a hero's journey in photographs: Satan has foul plans for Memphis in May, and we're not sure if the Illuminati are for us or against us, and whether all the Left Behind novels are just a smokescreen. At the darkest hour, one of Elvis' "helpers" dons his spangled cape and steps into the fray with the spirit of Dusty Springfield watching over him. But will they be helped, or hurt, by the mysterious Pyramid People?

Optical Art ist eine Stilrichtung der Malerei, die um 1960 aufkam. Mit Hilfe von geometrisch abstrakten Formmustern und Farbfiguren sollen im Auge des Betrachters Bewegungs- und Flimmereffekte hervorgerufen werden, die zu optischen Täuschungen führen können.
Wichtigste Vertreter der Op-Art waren Victor Vasarely, Bridget Riley, Jesús-Rafael Soto, Richard Anuszkiewicz, Julian Stanczak, Carlos Cruz-Diez, Julio Le Parc, Youri Messen-Jaschin, Agam und sind, in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland, Volker Bussmann, Wolfgang Ludwig, Almir Mavignier.

«» – | + − · × ÷ ≈ ≠ ± ≤ ≥ ² ³ ½ € † # * ‰ § ¢ $ ¿ ¡ ∞ ‣ • 〈〉 … → ↔ «» – | + − · × ÷ ≈ ≠ ± ≤ ≥ ² ³

Op art, also known as optical art, is used to describe some paintings and other works of art which use optical illusions. Op art is also referred to as geometric abstraction and hard-edge abstraction, although the preferred term for it is perceptual abstraction. The term "Op" bears resemblance to the other popular movement of the 1960s, Pop Art though one can be certain such monikers were invoked for their catchiness and not for any stylistic similarities.
"Optical Art is a method of painting concerning the interaction between illusion and picture plane, between understanding and seeing."[1] Op art works are abstract, with many of the better known pieces made in only black and white. When the viewer looks at them, the impression is given of movement, hidden images, flashing and vibration, patterns, or alternatively, of swelling or warping.

Der Jugendstil ist eine kunstgeschichtliche Epoche um die Jahrhundertwende vom 19. zum 20. Jahrhundert. Weitere Bezeichnungen sind Art Nouveau, Modern Style, Modernisme, Stile Liberty oder Wiener Secession; in Frankreich wurde auch der Begriff Fin de siècle verwendet.
Äußerlich kennzeichnende Teile oder Elemente des Jugendstils sind dekorativ geschwungene Linien sowie flächenhafte florale Ornamente und die Aufgabe von Symmetrien.
Bei solchen formalen Klassifizierungen darf allerdings nicht übersehen werden, dass der Jugendstil keineswegs eine so geschlossene Bewegung war, wie die Bezeichnung 'Jugendstil' heute bei uns den Anschein erwecken mag. Es handelt sich um eine Reihe von teilweise auch sehr divergierenden Strömungen innerhalb Europas, die sich allenfalls in der Abkehr vom Historismus wirklich 'einig' waren, also der Ablehnung der bis dato gängigen Praxis der Nachahmung historisch überlieferter Formvorbilder.

Die Darmstädter Künstlerkolonie war einerseits eine größtenteils mäzenatisch finanzierte Gruppe von Künstlern, die – idealerweise bei übereinstimmenden künstlerischen Anschauungen – gemeinsam tätig waren. Andererseits bezeichnet der Begriff auch die von den Künstlern errichteten Bauten auf der Mathildenhöhe in Darmstadt, in denen diese lebten und arbeiteten.

Die Mathildenhöhe, mit 180 Metern über NN die höchste Erhebung der Darmstädter Innenstadt, war schon im 19. Jahrhundert eine Gartenanlage des großherzoglichen Hofes und wurde 1833 im Stil eines Englischen Landschaftsparks umgestaltet. Dabei entstand der heute noch erhaltene Platanenhain. Der Garten wurde nach Mathilde Karoline Friederike von Wittelsbach, der Gemahlin Großherzogs Ludwig III., benannt. Die Bebauung der südlichen Mathildenhöhe durch die von Großherzog Ernst Ludwig 1899 gegründete Künstlerkolonie führte ab 1900 zu der heutigen Gestalt, die durch den Hochzeitsturm von 1906 und das Ausstellungsgebäude aus dem Jahre 1908 (auf dem Wasserreservoir stehend), jeweils vom Architekten Joseph Maria Olbrich entworfen, beherrscht wird.

Künstlerkolonie
Unter Künsterkolonie versteht man die Bebauung der Mathildenhöhe im Jugendstil mit Wohnhäusern der Künstler sowie mit Ausstellungs- und Ateliergebäuden während des Bestehens der Künstlergruppe von 1899 bis 1914.

as Wahrzeichen Darmstadts ist der 48 Meter hohe Hochzeitsturm, der auf der Mathildenhöhe steht.

Der Architekt Joseph Maria Olbrich gestaltete den 1908 fertiggestellten Backsteinturm im Auftrag der Stadt Darmstadt als Geschenk zur Erinnerung an die Hochzeit des Großherzogs Ernst Ludwig mit Prinzessin Eleonore zu Solms-Hohensolms-Lich am 2. Februar 1905. Markant sind die fünf abschließenden Bögen des Daches, die an eine ausgestreckte Hand erinnern, weshalb er auch "Fünffingerturm" genannt wird. Der Turm wird dem Jugendstil zugeordnet. Als Gebäude gehört er zum Komplex des damals neuen Wasserreservoirs und der Ausstellungshalle und Gemeinschaftsateliers der Künstlerkolonie.

Darmstadt is a city in the Bundesland (federal state) of Hessen in Germany. As of 2005, its population was 139,000. The city is located in the southern part of the Rhine Main Metropolitan Area.
In the beginning of the 20th Century Darmstadt was an important centre for the art movement of Jugendstil, the German variant of Art Nouveau. Annual architectural competitions led to the building of many architectural treasures of this period.

Art Nouveau is an international style of art, architecture and design that peaked in popularity at the beginning of the 20th century (1880-1914) and is characterized by highly-stylized, flowing, curvilinear designs often incorporating floral and other plant-inspired motifs. More localized terms for the phenomenon of self-consciously radical, somewhat mannered reformist chic that formed a prelude to 20th-century modernism include Jugendstil in Germany.
named after the avant-garde periodical Jugend ('Youth') and Sezessionsstil ('Secessionism') in Vienna, where forward-looking artists and designers seceded from the mainstream salon exhibitions to exhibit on their own work in more congenial surroundings.
