Love the Container Keith Gladysz

I made my first trip to Dia:Beacon over last weekend. The space and location was so amazing that a good portion of the work was eclipsed by the former factory space on the Hudson River. I had to decide to be heady or head out in the sun to enjoy the surrounding property. Even though the sun won I saw the whole collection and some really great work.

Richard Serra’s Torqued Series hit home with me. I loved walking in them, sensing the swelling, subtle movement of solid matter. On a geek note, they reminded me of the Jawa’s huge sandcrawlers, in almost static motion.

Also, Robert Smithson’s room was of interest. Sand and mirrors that somehow transform. Bruce Nauman’s ‘South American Circle’ was wonderful and displayed with proper eeriness in the basement.

There was also a Warhol exhibit that displayed a lot of his knick-knacks. Not too exciting to me. I’m wondering if I’d make a special trip again to Dia:beacon. If there were a particular show I'm sure I would. But having been there once seems enough to last me for a little while.
