Every Sunday for a year and a half, starting in October 1997, a group of Pittsburgh metal artists sneaked into the abandoned Carrie Furnace site, along with their tools and equipment. They used materials found on site to create a 45' tall deer head. The group - Industrial Arts Collective - is currently working on a large scale sculpture on the former Jones and Laughlin and LTV mill sites, on the South Side of Pittsburgh.

Palace of Fine Arts San Francisco Blue Sky The Palace of Fine Arts- a brief history "The Palace was not designed as 'a Valentine for San Francisco.' Maybeck visualized its colonnade streaming with people, finding a reward within the great doors." The task of creating a Palace of Fine Arts for the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition fell to the architect Bernard R. Maybeck, then fifty years old and known for his innovative ideas. Setting to work on this new project, he chose as his theme a Roman ruin, mutilated and overgrown, in the mood of a Piranesi engraving. But this ruin was not to exist solely for itself to show "the mortality of grandeur and the vanity of human wishes .... " Although it was meant to give delight by its exterior beauty, its purpose was also to offer all visitors a stimulating experience within doors. In playing host to the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, The Fair, which opened on February 20, 1915, San Francisco was honoring the discovery of the Pacific Ocean and the completion of the Panama Canal; it was also celebrating its own resurrection after the shattering earthquake and fire of 1906. The problems of choosing the exact site in the city had finally been overcome and groundwork had been going on for some time. Last of the buildings to be erected, on the lagoon and close by a group of Monterey cypresses, was Maybeck's Palace of Fine Arts. With its exhibition hall to house the work of living artists (dominated by the Impressionists), its colonnade, and its rotunda -- plans for all of which had dazzled the Commissioners when the huge brown-paper sketch was put before them -- it fulfilled the architect's dream: it was as beautiful reflected in the water as it was against the sky. And when the Palace was completed (Roman in style although a freely-interpreted, purely romantic conception, and Greek in decorative treatment) its exceptional harmony gave it instant appeal to the public. |

The John Lennon Educational Tour Bus made a stop at OSU to work with a group of students. The OSU Women in Technology group, The Wexner Center for the Arts, and The Digital Union partnered with the University Area Enrichment Associaton (UAEA) to bring the bus to the Ohio State University Campus. Since I had great access and the bus staff were extremely hepful, I was able to quickly snag this pan before morning tours began. |

Overlooking the Main Concourse looking West. A Beaux-Arts style building and U.S. National Historic Landmark. About 125,000 commuters pass through everyday.
The ceiling depicts an elaborately decorated astronomical Zodiac that is depicted backwards. A large American flag was hung in Grand Central Terminal a few days after the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center. The main information booth in the center of the concourse marks a common meeting place. The four-faced clock on top of the information booth is a Grand Central icon. |
