Visible through the window were some Flavin drawings and sketches; I&#8217;ve always liked Flavin&#8217;s sketches ever since seeing a big bunch of them at his <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nga.gov\/exhibitions\/flavininfo.shtm\">Retrospective at the National Gallery of Art<\/a> in Washington D.C., so I stepped inside. As one turned the corner, there was a green and red glow from rooms on one&#8217;s left and right respectively. The red room was really impressive, as your eyes adjusted, your pupils dilating depending on where one looked to in the room; turning around to the green-glowing room, there was a single pink fluorescent tube on the back wall, surrounded by the green glow of a nearby work that contained more tubes (seven I think); thus the pink tubed was bathed in green, the pink which reflected to the floor but the green which simply blanketed the wall. There was another piece in the room, a floor work; overall a really impressive room, but I was most-satisfied with the pink tube work, obviously:<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"image316\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nicknormal.com\/normalblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/flavin-at-paula-cooper.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Dan Flavin pink tube green wall\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Afterwards I went to my studio and <a class=\"imagelink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nicknormal.com\/normalblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/iraq-war-policy-failed-or-tom-and-katie-the-afterparty.jpg\" title=\"new work - photograph of work on web wallpaper\" rel=\"lightbox\">made some new work<\/a> for the Homo Bellicus exhibition opening tomorrow.<\/p>\n<div class='ctx-module-container ctx_default_placement ctx-clearfix'><\/div><span class=\"ctx-article-root\"><!-- --><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After I dropped of my work yesterday at Eyebeam &#8211; for the La Superette event tomorrow &#8211; I was walking past the Paula Cooper Gallery on W 21st Street (they don&#8217;t have a website? seriously? only a listing on artnet?) and noticed there was a Dan Flavin show currently on; of course I&#8217;m always down [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":316,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[53],"tags":[335,457],"series":[],"class_list":["post-311","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-arts","tag-dan-flavin","tag-fluorescent"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nicknormal.com\/normalblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/flavin-at-paula-cooper.jpg?fit=500%2C667&ssl=1","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p6OfVu-51","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nicknormal.com\/normalblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/311","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nicknormal.com\/normalblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nicknormal.com\/normalblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nicknormal.com\/normalblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nicknormal.com\/normalblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=311"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.nicknormal.com\/normalblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/311\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3078,"href":"https:\/\/www.nicknormal.com\/normalblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/311\/revisions\/3078"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nicknormal.com\/normalblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/316"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nicknormal.com\/normalblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=311"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nicknormal.com\/normalblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=311"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nicknormal.com\/normalblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=311"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nicknormal.com\/normalblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/series?post=311"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
