Images of the Anthropocene

When I went to the AGO back in the fall [https://danbscott.ghost.io/aga-and-ago/] I mentioned that there was an upcoming exhibit I wanted to see called "Anthropocene". I didn't make it back to the gallery while it was on, so I watched the accompanying

Frostival

Frostival is an annual winter festival in Fredericton [https://danbscott.ghost.io/top-ten-things-to-do-in-fredericton/]. I've gone to some events [http://frostival.ca/en/event-listing] in it the past several years, but I don't think I've written about it before. One of the events that I

Aga and AGO

On a recent weekend I had a day-long layover in Toronto (deliberately). I took the opportunity to check out a couple of museums there: the Aga Khan museum and the Art Gallery of Ontario. The Aga Khan may be best known in Canada for controversy [https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/

Four Maritime Museums

In my posts about travelling to Copenhagen [https://danbscott.ghost.io/five-days-in-denmark/] , Amsterdam [https://danbscott.ghost.io/noord-holland/], and Rotterdam [https://danbscott.ghost.io/zuid-holland/], I mentioned that I'd be discussing some maritime museums I visited in a separate post.

Noord-Holland

After Denmark [https://danbscott.ghost.io/five-days-in-denmark/], I travelled to the Netherlands, where I spent some time around Amsterdam and Rotterdam.

A New Twist On Familiar Vistas

Last weekend I visited the Beaverbrook Art Gallery to check out a couple of exhibits. It had just re-opened after being closed due to flooding. First of all, here is what the art gallery looked like at the end of April 2018. The flood waters were up to the building,

Ottawa Museum Crawl

At the end of last week, I had a business meeting in the Ottawa area. I decided to stay for the weekend since it was a good opportunity to visit our nation's capital during Canada's 150th [https://danbscott.ghost.io/150th/] anniversary. On Saturday, I went

Artistic River Map

I got a new art print from Etsy [https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/545429118/rivers-of-europe-print-physical-europe?ref=shop_home_active_25] and wanted to show it off in this post. This print is a map composed solely of rivers [https://danbscott.ghost.io/27-rivers-to-know/] . Rivers, maps, and fractals are some

Assorted Links (Fall 2017)

Last week I was in a conference in Chicago [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_-cUdmdWgU]. I plan to write about it later this month, but for this week I just wanted to share some miscellaneous links (mostly related to things I've written about previously) that I&

Watermark Sculpture

This post is about flooding, along with some thoughts on public art installations. I made a timelapse .gif of a sculpture along the Saint John River in Fredericton that was designed to show the water level. Watermark by Gerald Beaulieu [https://blog.sculpture.org/2016/02/17/gerald-beaulieu/] is a

cana de açúcar

I just got back from a 12-day business trip to Brazil. In this post, I'll share a bit about my experiences and impressions there. As I was there on a business trip, my experience was quite different than if I had gone as a tourist. The weekdays were

Add Art

For this week's post, I just have a couple of links to share. About art. I was asked to share a link to Artsy [http://www.artsy.net/]. It is a website with news on galleries (art museums and commercial galleries), shows, and art that is available for

Les Musées de Paris

A month ago, I was in the middle of a two-week trip to France. I had a great time there, and plan to write a series of posts about it, starting with this one about my time in Paris. Museums weren't the only thing I saw in Paris,

Art: Masterworks and l'Experience de la Riviere Nahanni
