Road Angel
Parked off in the woods at Laguna Gloria was a Sculpture of a 1953 Chevrolet Coupe. It had lights and a cool soundtrack with songs and stories to listen to. Too bad the doors wouldn’t open so you could sit inside.
Miffy Fountain
This one was fun. I should have brought a water bottle so I could collect some tears. Also, did you know that Miffy is a real thing?
Lost Money
Around the back side of Laguna Gloria, near the fountain, is an exhibit consisting of 2,000 coins welded with bolts. I then started crawling around on the ground with my camera in hand. This is pretty cool art, looking like someone emptied their coin jar across the patio.
Looking Up
“Looking Up” is a fantastic sculpture at The Contemporary Austin. This is the Laguna Gloria location. You can’t help but to walk up to the base of this sculpture and strike the pose of looking up. It is also cool how the sun glints off of the stainless steel. Since we had another beautiful day in Austin, I walked the grounds of the Museum today and enjoyed several of the exhibits on display.
Contemporary Austin Laguna Gloria – Rose Garden
If you have checked out my Blog before, you will know that I am always looking for the roses. 🙂
Contemporary Austin Laguna Gloria – Net-Work
This is the Do Ho Suh art called “Net-Work”. It extends over a pier at Laguna Gloria and makes for a nice photo opportunity.
Contemporary Austin Laguna Gloria – Exterior
I took a walk around the property at Contemporary Austin Laguna Gloria this afternoon. It is a Villa/Museum/Art School located on the shores of Lake Austin. The Winter temperatures were in the 70s today, so it made for a lovely day!
The Contemporary Austin (roof)
My favorite part about The Contemporary Austin today was that they had the roof of the building open for visiting. Of course, I had to take a few photos of the downtown buildings.
The Contemporary Austin (interior)
The artist, Do Ho Suh , has created several pieces, but the standout item is his “series of rooms and passageways from Suh’s 348 West 22nd Street apartment complex and studio where he lived in New York City”. This is made of polyester fabric, stainless steel tubes and stainless steel wire. Pretty cool.
