Energy: The Power of Art

Last week I had a heavenly time during my first visit to the “Energy: The Power of Art” exhibit at the Nassau County Museum of Art on the Gold Coast of Long Island.

Above video has photos & video of “Aurorae” (2019) by Miya Ando (1978).

As soon as I arrived, I watched an hour PBS documentary about aurora borealis.

Then I lingered long in the Mrs. Vincent de Roulet Gallery with artist MIYA ANDO‘s atmospheric “Aurorae” – her aurora borealis installation commissioned by the Nassau County Museum of Art.  

“Aurorae” – an imposing  238 x 120 x 120 inches – is delicate hand painted fabric hanging from a spiral of aluminum suspended from the high ceiling.

Despite having to shove my fingers in my coat pocket whenever they got too cold to set my Nikon’s dials and buttons – I had a great visit, outdoors and in, at the Nassau County Museum of Art this weekend.

It was a joint scouting expedition with one of my fellow co-leaders of the Long Island Photowalk and three members of NYPhotoForum. We spent quite a while photographing statues – which ranged from the sublime to the absurd – scattered throughout the grounds.

And later, after the others left, I joined the docent tour of the current exhibition: the Paintings of Louis Comfort Tiffany, plus some Tiffany lamps, windows, and more.
