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.

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.
