    Who would you take with you for a midnight/day trip to The City or Roden Crater?

    I would chose Benny.
    Why?
    Just to see what his take on Life would be after couple of gummy bears.

    Michael Heizer : The City







    Or James Turells Roden Crater?






    The floggings will continue until morale improves.

    I don't know why but I pretty much read your post as this and started laughing:

    I still call it The Jake.

    I've had the privilege of seeing two different Turrell pieces in my life; both were surreal and incredibly psychedelic (without any drugs). I'm on the Friends of Roden Crater email list and I'm anxiously awaiting their opening to the public.

    My dad is an industry insider and knows Turrell; I asked him if there was any way he could get us into the crater early. He laughed and told me not unless we've got $5mil burning a hole in our pockets.

    Along with real estate, Bitcoin, and small businesses.

    On a smaller scale, I like the wind and kinetic sculptures of Anthony Howe

    Reminds me of the joke:
    Why are the pyramids in Egypt?

    A: cause they won’t fit inside the British Museum

    My art is trail building and laying tracks down a powder face. Any other medium is pathetically sad. My wife is an artist and an art teacher. During our purge, I killed off some spray paint that's been sitting around forever. I pulled out this old table that's been in our garden house, gave it a quick bath, and unloaded some paint. Much to the amusement and slight "what in the fuck" my wife let me know that the table was an antique with original patina paint. Oops. I got rid of some paint cans ftw!
