Yesterday I visited the Burchfield-Penney Art Gallery with Sally and Ben. They had up a show celebrating the work of local artists, most of which revolved around conceptions of home and household objects. The above display featured a kind of visual rescue of ordinary things lost in (or revealed through) house fires.
This installation, projected onto three separate screens (including one that wrapped around a corner) celebrated the art of skipping, which it turns out is a lot more complex than it looks (according to the running commentary).
Upstairs at the gallery was another exhibit with a wide variety of offbeat animal sculptures, including this bird kept not in a cage but behind a filmy black curtain.
We also walked across the street to the Albright-Knox Gallery, where they had a retrospective of photos celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the Buffalo Sabres hockey club. There were some really spectacular shots, most blown up to poster size, but they didn't allow any pictures, so I don't have anything to share from that section of the museum. But I did get this shot of the Christmas Tree Creche set up in the Clifton Annex. You can't tell from my photo, but the tree was about fifteen feet tall, and the creche was laid into the side and had to be about 5 or 6 feet high itself.
