Return to the Berkeley Art Museum (Part one)








Second day open for business 
Another free admission day




Screen Life





 When you enter this venerable walk way
 You know see a screen

 


 No more unmediated 
meditations on the lawn





Eyes on pedestrians and deadly autos
The way
 of the world





 Look who's coming to town,
Look at that face,
He knows when you are sleeping



He will bring happiness in a pipe
 Right away
On his silver bike





 The former future
Flowing images from 
What was formerly the past



 The Leviathan




I suppose I'll permit it to swallow me  in 






 Inside the Leviathan



 


Figurative forest





 He was huge




 Industrialisimo






 Someone naturally build a corrugated metal shed





 Noir Primitif


 Artificial Intelligence


 This reminded me of photographs I've seen
Of webs spun by spiders on LSD




When they achieve discorporate preservation
of  individual consciousness,
This is what it will look like




 Architectonic



 Industrial stairwell in orange












 Art History made easy



 What most people throughout 
Most of history would recognize as art
Appears mainly via screen




Appropriately, the Film Study center





   Familiar white spaces
    Capacious and ample







 The Sublime








 Gautama



Marcel Duchamp






 Totem and taboo














Part two


 A Mile of Signage
BERKELEY ART MUSEUM - PACIFIC FILM ARCHIVE


Impressive, commanding


Monumental, spectacular
 

In double-wide cinema-scope
 Dig the guy in the little squirrel hole cafe






 Do the sidewalk stalk
Just like Howard Hawkes
The Pacific Film Archive




As viewed from the al fresco tables
of Bongo Burger

Your correspondent le bon Flaneur
Making the scene







Off again 
Blossoming
