William Marlowe? Kit Shakespeare?

Speculation is the keyword in the History Lord intro to Christopher Marlowe.

Christopher Marlowe and William Shakespeare were born on the same day. Hmm:

  • Was he Shakespeare?
  • Was he killed in 1593?
  • Was he a spy for Queen Elizabeth [I]?
  • Was he a homosexual?

Only history will tell… wait, it actually has not.

Walking

My love of walking around the city was seriously hobbled [sorry] by bum knees.

Pain is a big deterrent to enjoying my walks. Well, was. I went to the ortho on Thursday.

She was pro-active and did an ultra-sound to check for water on the knee. She removed two vials of a yellow fluid from the right knee and one vial from the left. Yellow, she assured me is normal. I will start pool therapy at Sutton Place PT shortly.

The knees feel a lot better and I am not rolling as much when I walk.  Not perfect or pain free but better. I still suffer a stiffness after sitting too long. Standing in place too long again hurts.

Better right now is best.

10 years in support

If you live on the UES, come support our community at the 10th Anniversary Gala of PS109 El Barrio Artspace.

This milestone Gala brings together the artists, neighbors, and supporters who helped shape El Barrio’s Artspace into a vibrant hub of artistic expression. Like every milestone, 10 years down, is the beginning of the next 10 years.

At the Gala, you will experience a curated group exhibition that  showcases standout works by standout artists from the past decade, live performances by our in-house talent, a one-of-a-kind art auction featuring original pieces, dinner, drinks and a festive after-party to close out the night.

The funds raised support the next generation of artists in El Barrio.  If you’ve been here before, it’s a heartfelt tribute to our shared journey. If you’re just joining us it’s a toast to the creativity past, present and yet to come.

Welcome.

At the Guggenheim

For my art date to the Gugg with L-M; I mistakenly decided that Th was a pay-what-you-will so I joined up. Now I can spend my life at my least favorite architectural contraption.

Don’t get me wrong, that ramp is perfect for art gazing. Check out Rashid Johnson’s artscapes which include potted plants (note they are there because they need nurturing).

My animus towards the legendary Frank Lloyd Wright extends to this potted plant of a building but also to the man I met reading Loving Frank.
