Photos: Beacon + Seismosis Talk

Here are a few photos from my visit to Beacon, New York and the talk at the Go North Gallery, which was actually moved to a larger venue just down the street, the historic Howland Memorial Library, which now houses the town's Historical Society. Let me thank Karlos Carcamo and Gregory Slick of Go North once again for inviting Chris and me to speak about and read from Seismosis, and thanks also to all the people who showed up (esp. Dante, Erica and Patricia!) on what might have been the most beautiful Saturday in New York and New Jersey this August.

More post-talk chatting (poet Dante Micheaux, in the brown shirt at back, is stretching)

Main Street, Beacon, New York

Dia: Beacon, which had closed by the time Chris and I headed over there

As we were driving around, we came across this spot, the Max Protetch Gallery's Sculpture Park and Annex

Although redolent of Sol Lewitt's work, I believe this piece, unlabelled, is by Iñigo Manglano-Ovalle, whom the Max Protetch gallery represents; it may even be one of his "Iceberg" sculptures

I'm not sure who's the artist behind this gigantic piece, but it's visible from the road

Chris is wandering over near a patio that has sculptures by Scott Burton (and perhaps Lewitt)
