Current situation: watching artists work 📺 "...to become again, this species of bird, of which only one individual exists in the world, and which when decrepit arises from its pyre made of aromatic plants is said fabulously to become again young, to undergo happy former periods of life. In reality it is the date palm [see P. dactylifera], undergoing happy former periods of life to become again until it finishes..." 🦚♾️🌴 Carl Linnaeus, "Paradoxa," Systema Naturae #linnaeus #museumnerd #arthistorybuff (at Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland moCa) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClG-MDuuIvBKLCuDbK496qcadHsugbSSpYUq4o0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Good morning Charlotte! A little cool and rainy, but that's not going to deter me from taking a walk over to the @themintmuseum and @thebechtler. #museumnerd #exploringcharlotte #igbear #instagay #rainbows #gaybear #pride365 #tobetterdays #thegreatisolationof2021 #year52 (at Charlotte, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/COx3f_cNYJt/?igshid=uw05s8d7w3mp

Yesterday my freaking awesome coworkers threw me the best birthday at work with McDonalds for breakfast, a cheese party, and a piñata to beat the crap out of filled with candy that is NOT chocolate (because I’m weird). Which makes today even tougher since it’s my last day at the Adler. 😢 This band of weirdos that work here have been so much fun and I can’t wait to hang with them at Adler After Dark in a few weeks! . But I’m moving on to bigger and exciting things as the Director of Marketing for a fun company here in the city...the picture gives a hint 🤔🚲😉 . . #museums #museumnerd #museumnerdforever #museumcampus #newjob #newbeginnings #chicago (at The Adler Planetarium)

This piece is a dragon, made of bicycle parts & plastic toy cars. The centre of the dragon has the toy cars coming out of the stomach; to represent the birth and rise of the automobile industry in China, and the decline of bicycle use . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #museums #museumnerd #nyc #guggenheim #travel #YearOf25 (at Solomon R.
