First off, Storm King is amazing, and if you haven't been, you really should make a point to go. It is the best kept secret in the hudson valley-- a huge sculptural park on 500 acres located only an hour away from manhattan... makes for a great day trip and a refreshing break from the chaos of the city. One of my favorite sculptures was titled "wave field" by Maya Lin. This New York Times short video featured the artist when she unveiled her project back in 2008. It really was breathtaking in person.
We also had a chance to take in Warhorse... A play that has recently won countless tonys. Personally, I wasn't blown away by the storyline, but the life-size puppets were incredible. It was tremendous to watch Joey (the main character, a thoroughbred puppet) take on life like form and personality out of disparate artificial parts. And ok, fine, I cried at the end. But to be fair, I cry at anything that involves sadness and animals. Don't even get me started on ASPCA commericals. sarah mclachlan songs + pitiful puppy eyes looking through a cage= cry face. Every. effin. time.
