Yesterday we went down the French Broad River park to see the temporary outdoor sculpture installation. These are a few of the ones I liked. My favorite is Barron Brown’s “Pecker.” It’s a bronze chicken that you can actuate by stomping on a pedal, making him chip away at some marble. This one is for you Keith. Captured on my tiny, cheap camera…
My second favorite is this bamboo construction, which was still under construction. The artist is Larry King. I can’t believe he was able to get away from CNN long enough to do this. The work is titled “Harvest Reeds” and it’s a mix of Richard Serra and Andy Goldsworthy.
“River Boat and Angkor” by William Rogers:
I’m not sure who made the tower of 4x4s on the left, but I like it. On the right is “The Extraction of Arrows” by Catherine Murray. That’s all bronze.
Sounds like a fun outing and inspirational on the creative side.
Love the chicken. I’m still trying to get my act together to cast a few more chickens of my own. Y’all are at the top of the list whenever that happens. BOK! BOK!
I was there and loved it too, especially the wooden tower, beautifully made, and witty..”Gaited Community”..but what about that bench?
Nice stuff. I love Asheville.
