Last Friday our class took a trip to the Dia center in Beacon, NY. The space is amazing. It was once a Nabisco factory that was renovated and now has a large art collection. It was a beautiful train ride as well, and we even passed the ruins of a castle on this island on the Hudson. The weather was warm and humid, but it was such a gray and misty day. The clouds rolled low over the water, and the bare, brown trees crowded around the banks. It was a day that was taken straight out of Wuthering Heights. I'm fairly confident that Bronte could have written her best stuff on a day like that. You half expect some tragic or romantic event to take place. Upstate New York was everything I had hoped it would be and more...and that was just the scenery. Inside the center, I saw Sol Lewitt drawings that would make you cry, Richard Serra's torqued elipses, and Joseph Bueys felt stacks, just to name a few.
