This weekend I'll be heading north to Amherst again to visit with best pal Katie (that's IF the weather cooperates...)We are planning to drive to NY State...into the Hudson River Valley region to visit a very cool place called Dia Beacon. The Dia Foundation has lots and lots of goodies in this museum...everything from Joseph Bouys to Richard Serra (Katie's personal favorite). I'm worried with all this snow, however. It's proving to be a very nasty New England winter and shows no signs of slowing up. The roads are never clean enough and driving can be tricky.
This will be my second trip to Dia. The first time I went with classmates in graduate school. I remember some of what we saw, but it's tough when you are pressed for time and traveling with 10 other folks. We stopped on the way back to see the gigantic sculptures in Storm King. Some of the pieces are a little dated but awe inspiring anyway, due to the size of some of these structures.
I'll be blogging back when the trip is over. Happy New Year!
