Urban Spelunking
Just saw a note on our neighborhood listserv about Diane Toroian Keaggy's piece in Sunday's P-D on urban exploration, which features Ecology of Absence's Michael Allen and our own Thomas Crone, who is humble and not wont to boast about such things (so I'll do it for him - I rather liked the piece). Having visited the Armour Meatpacking Plant last winter with brilliant painter Cindy Tower, I can say it is a doozy of an urban exploration site. Speaking of which, Bruno David Gallery opens a group exhibit, OVER_VIEW 08, tommorrow night, and it features some of Cindy's work. Not sure if there will be canvases of Armour, but if so, it's a chance to get a painterly perspective on the site. Definitely check out her site for a peek at those paintings, though nothing can replace seeing them in person.
