National Portrait Gallery
The Seattle and New Jersey family wings are in town and that was an excellent reason for a trip to the Smithsonian — we met up with them at the National Portrait Gallery. Robert, who was recently there with his class, took me up to the contemporary exhibit where we found lots of very cool things.

Like this huge wall of monitors. It really was mesmerizing to watch. My three screen project at Evergreen was clearly completely eclipsed by this installation.

And this wooden sculpture seems to have something in it for everyone. Gears and wheels and chairs and railing posts — or maybe those are bedposts….

The younger crowd went to the Spy Museum afterwards and then we all met up at Rasika for dinner. It was great fun and made more so with the rest of the Grand Canyon trip extended family. The hockey fans continued on to see the Caps play.
