I do find Philadelphia to be a more rewarding place to walk than many cities; oddly, I think this is because there is less to see. More interest in the micro, rather than the macro, I think. This may be worth some exploration in a future post. You pique my curiosity; I look forward to hearing from Mrs. Roth.

You pique my curiosity; I look forward to hearing from Mrs. Roth.

Mrs. Roth will be sending you an email soon: I think you will find her current employment of particular interest.

I just checked out <a href="http://www.uwishunu.com/" rel="nofollow">UWISHUNU</a> -- at the risk of saying the obvious: Who knew?! My next adventure is going to be exploring the site -- thanks for sending the link this way. Thanks for the great comment, Eric!

Honestly, public art that reflected only my taste would bore a lot of other people, and it wouldn't give me much to think about, either. Maybe, too, it's more important that 'art' provoke than that it meet any specific artistic criterion. Complacency is an ugly thing in humans. But I still think a kindergartener with a crane could have produced this -- and less pretentiously! Thanks for the comment!

I like the di Suvero's "Iroguois" - I'd love to visit it the next time I'm down there. I love the vastness and all the angles. I fell in love with his stuff at <a href="http://www.stormking.org/" rel="nofollow">Storm King</a> . You can check out more of his sculptures there. Personally, I'm always for more public art.</p> hmmm… I like the di Suvero’s “Iroguois” – I’d love to visit it the next time I’m down there. I love the vastness and all the angles.
