Disposessed
“I Don’t Have Another Land is a contemporary text sculpture by the internationally renowned and Turner Prize-shortlisted artist Nathan Coley. Coley creates these monumental sculptures using existing phrases that come from overheard conversations, song lyrics, news report, books or any found text. I Don’t Have Another Land was a piece of graffiti found on a wall in Jerusalem in the early 2000s. The phrases used in Coley’s artwork take on new meaning in each place they’re exhibited.”

Foggy Beach
We walked North on Ocean Beach, passing the new administration’s revamped Department of Education:
Bread & Salt
Whilst in Barrio Logan we visited Bread & Salt, “a 45,000 square-foot gallery and experimental center for the arts with strong community ties,” and I naturally found a variety of aspects of the space to photograph.

Two Types of Sculpture
San Diego Joy
First day or two in San Diego and I shot, somewhat at random, at tourist sites, and anything else that caught my eye. Not very studied photography.
Night in the City
More images I considered, but didn’t pick for Urban Exoticism.

Plaza
Is this a liminal space? It appears to be a public sculpture plaza in a fancy building on Park Avenue in midtown Manhattan. But it’s empty and devoid of people. It’s the space between the street and the Lever offices. It’s attractive but looks rather forlorn and abandoned.
Shaping Glass
As part of October Craft Month (Farnham is a World Craft Town) UCA hosted the Shaping Glass exhibition in the James Hockey Gallery in October, which I was lucky enough to see a little before it opened. Below are some quick snaps I took in the gallery.
All Hands
We passed this sculpture several times on our way to and back from the hotel but I was never able to find any placard or other source of information on it.
.. update. Thanks to eagle-eyed and dedicated blog-follower Lois A Jay, I can now link to more information on the background of this sculpture, All Hands.
