Today we went to the Nevada Museum of Art.
Guardian of Eden by Kate Raudenbush (2007)
Untitled #2538 by Deborah Butterfield (2001)
What did Untitled #1-#2537 look like?
Also, this looks like driftwood, but apparently it's a cast bronze.
Still looks like driftwood.
They also had an exhibit about Burning Man.
Model of the Man by Roger Floren (2013)
My understanding is that the Man generally looks like this, more or less.
The first Man was 8 feet tall. Then he grew to 15 feet, then 30 feet, then 40 feet, and in 2014 he was 105 feet tall. Sometimes he's on a pedestal, or some other structure so he is even taller.
Posters from several years of Burning Man.
Keys left on the playa by Burning Man attendees (2005-2012)
Exhibit renovation or is this the exhibit?
Jackass Meadows, Yosemite (1894)
Dawn, Coronado Island, California (1891)
Dixon was 16 at the time.
Two Naughty Nude Drawings (1925)
"These particular drawings were stored in a manila envelope by Dixon's third wife Edith Hamlin for many years, The envelope had a note indicating that the drawings were not to be widely displayed. Edith thought the images to be quite risqué and gave them to Dixon's son."
Drawing for Ghost Dance (aka Ghost Rider) (1924)
El guerror (The Warrior) by Javier Chavira (????)
Estampas del Popol Vuh #1-10 (Impressions of Popol Vuh #1-10) by Carlos Mérida (1943)
"The Popl Vuh is an ancient origin myth from the highland region of Guatemala. Mérida's prints combine indigenous forms with the international art styles of abstractions and surrealism."
Tierra Roja (Red Earth) by David Alfaro Siqueiros (1968)
Ball Rattlesnake (Serpiente de Cascabel en Bola) and Sidewinder (Serpiente de cascabel)
by Luis Jiménez Jr. (????)
Mom's Living Room by Patssi Valdez (2003)
History of the Chicano Movement by Frank Romero (2002)
Unravel by Tino Rodríguez (2003)
Untitled (Sin Titulo) by Amado Maurillo Peña Jr. (????)
There was a great event space at the top of the museum with a deck. Hi Reno!
They had a few framed photos from a recent Burning Man. I think those BELIEVE letters are in downtown Reno.
We left the museum and went back to the casino to gamble a bit and generally had a good time.
It turned out Dan's roommate from sophomore year of college was in town visiting his girlfriend.
So we went to an escape game. We escaped!
Also, you can't leave Reno or Circus Circus without flipping a chicken. It was surprisingly fun.
We won two cheap stuffed animal fish.
This concludes our adventures for today.
