Sun and the Iliad
Very tired today after staying out way too late on a school night for Jarboe's sold-out show at the Showbox's Green Room. I went out at lunch to try to recharge in the sun. I'm not so keen on the bright lights, but the photosynthetic effect of sunlight can't be overlooked. Some air, some light, and some pictures I've been meaning to take for some time over at the Seattle Center.
Pictures of Alexander Liberman's orange and red Olympic Iliad can be found in the Photo Log. The sculpture was installed in 1984 after much discussion as to exactly where to put it. It ended up as part of the Sculpture Garden on the South Lawn of the Seattle Center, just east of the Pacific Science Center. The Bumbershoot World Stage is usually right in the shadow of this piece.
