My BSKY is fairly asynchronous: Things get posted when they get posted, so this account has a strong Time Is Just A Construct vibe.

While most social media platforms want you to post as things happen, I’m very bad at that. When you see a post, it’s more likely that it DIDN’T just occur.

Where do rainbows go when they’ve been bad? To prism, where they can reflect on all they’ve done. #DadJokes

And there was so much more than just these four pieces. If you have a chance go take a look at the Matthew Marks Gallery’s page for the show!

Now Kiss. Iván Argote’s monumental aluminum sculpture, Dinosaur (2024), the fourth High Line Plinth commission at the High Line Spur, set against The Edge observation deck at 30 Hudson Yards. #nyc #architecture #art #dinosaur #kiss #IWelcomeOurAndroidOverlords

A color photo of a sculpture of a pigeon, looking down at the viewer with a angular blue building in the background against a blue sky. The giant pigeon is Iván Argote’s monumental aluminum sculpture Dinosaur and the building is 30 Hudson Yards. The pigeon sculpture and the observation deck of the building are positioned in the photo so that the beak of the pigeon seems to be ready to touch the point of the observation deck.

I had a chance to visit @naylandblake.bsky.social’s retrospective, Sex in the 90s, over the weekend. Awesome show. The passage of 3+ decades for many of the pieces lends perspective. Photos of my favorite pieces from the show from Matthew Marks Gallery cause I managed to flubbed my pics. #nyc #art

Both the bunny, rabbit, and the pile of loose pom-poms also have small pom-poms attached that are brown and pink, attached in a way that in gender’s thoughts of a virus.

I saw a video about this project! A great concept, and a logistical triumph!

Why did Mozart sell all his chickens?

When he asked them who the best composer was, they all said, “Bach! Bach! Bach!”

Why do chicken coops have two doors?

Because if they had four doors, they’d be chicken sedans. Duh

Other option is to send it to someone that has Adobe?

I went to the beekeeper to buy 10 bees, but when I counted them there were 11. I said to them, “Excuse me, you gave me 11 bees.“ They turned to me and said, “Don’t worry about it. That one is a freebie.” #DadJokes
