I will have to find some pics on the web and include them of other artworks that I loved, but at least I did get a good shot of my very favorite piece @this scopeHamptons art fair: Reed Barrow's 'You Are Here, Here, Here, Here, Hereand Here' 2008
aquaresin, fiberoptic cable, small motor, LED light. edition of 5 $4800

Highlight of the weekend was getting to see and talk with my friend Kim Keever for a nice long while out in the food tent. One of those conversations that I don't quite dare to hope for....about life and biology and species and perception and everything I'm fascinated by. He used to study biology before engineering so was a dream to talk with. I've written about/linked to his work before....it's magnificent. Huge photographs that look like old landscape paintings...but are in fact shots of miniature worlds and weather he creates within an aquarium in his small NYC studio apt! see here

afterwards we geared up to celebrate a little @ Salomon Contemporary's Warehouse party.
B decided on a special look for the night;)
