Urban Landscaped: July 2009

http://urbanlandscaped.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html

Tuesday, July 14, 2009. Vergara exhibition at the New-York Historical Society. Urban Landscaped readers know that I'm a fan of Camilo José Vergara's photographs and books. Vergara has a distinct viewpoint blending UE photography, sociology, and street photography, and he's author of two of my favorite books American Ruins. But his work hasn't been shown on museum walls for a good couple of years in NYC; I missed that party in the late 1990s and early millennium. Instead, Harlem, 1970-2009. As the section...

Urban Landscaped: January 2010

http://urbanlandscaped.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html

Saturday, January 30, 2010. For the last couple of years, my wall calendar of choice has been the Environmental Art calendars. Unless environmental art is your expertise, there are many relatively unknown artworks highlighted (one per month). Greenmuseum.org is also a wonderful museum site featuring the work of many. (Of note, Greenmuseum.org does indeed exist only online.). Environmental art is more than Andy Goldsworthy. 2005) and Ilkka Halso. 2004) (which, for the record, I find fascinating). Gilles B...

Urban Landscaped: children's book recommendations

http://urbanlandscaped.blogspot.com/2010/01/childrens-book-recommendations.html

Thursday, January 14, 2010. Children are curious, inquisitive, and constantly on the lookout for new people, places, things, and ideas. Most parents love this aspect of raising children, as do I. This exploration encompasses everything in our seen and unseen world, so it makes sense that there would be a few children's books that touch upon urban exploration, even in tangential ways. In A Curious Garden,. Inspired greatly by NYC's High Line. Up Above and Down Below. The most frequent type of children's u...

Urban Landscaped: December 2009

http://urbanlandscaped.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html

Wednesday, December 16, 2009. Visiting The Christmas House. When I was young, one of my favorite Christmas activities was going to this Christmas building in New Jersey. Everything was Christmas, and it was about a half hour of walking through Christmas scene after Christmas scene. My grandparents took my brother and I, so it was also "dress up" day. After all, you couldn't go to the Christmas building without dressing up in your best outfit! Is this outsider art? Are the people who live here insane?

Urban Landscaped: February 2011

http://urbanlandscaped.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html

Wednesday, February 2, 2011. Baby, it's icy outside! It's been a couple of posts since I've mentioned Vergara, but whenever I research urban exploration photography that I admire, it often begins with me Googling his name. This is how I found the above photograph, from a short Slate blog post from January 15, 2010. Or would it be something else? Realizing we were really stuck the driver let us off in a place I could not identify because of the snow, the wind and the cold. As I got off my feet sank almost...

Julia Solis // Travelogue: The Golden Ballroom

http://darkpassagetravelogue.blogspot.com/2010/09/golden-ballroom.html

September 23, 2010. Time is running out for this forgotten property along a German riverfront. A roof collapse in the center of the sprawling building is slowly dragging the entire structure down into its pit. But this golden jewel in the back is still holding its own. It's nearly unmarked by graffiti, possibly because the only remaining access is a second-story window - of course best traversed in a sparkling pair of dancing shoes. Posted by Julia Solis. A companion travelogue for Dark Passage.
