Once upon a time, I went on vacation to Laramie, Wyoming, and on the way there we stopped in Lucas, KS. I had no idea why. What could possibly be in Lucas, KS? Turns out that one of the "8 Wonders of Kansas Art" is there. The Garden of Eden, built by Samuel Dinsmoor, is a magnificent sight.

It seemed political, but the statues were interesting. I didn't get a chance to actually go in and look around, but you can see just about everything from outside of the fence that surrounds this place.
Final Friday was a cold one. I really enjoyed Heterotopia (if that is how you spell it). It was nice to see past teachers work. I also really enjoyed Shift Space. My favorite pieces were the flies, the rubber thing that had something poking through it (I don't remember the titles) and the two owl pellets in the tiny bed. I wasn't too impressed with Commerce street.

ReplyDeleteI saw The Garden of Eden when I was younger and it has changed a lot. Samual Dinsmoor used to have his body on display and if you get there in a very limited time slot you can go inside his house and I believe garage to explore. I haven't been to it lately and my younger self would've had another word rather than interesting, more like scary.
ReplyDeleteThose were owl pellets? I thought they were rotting mice?
