New York Academy of Art: Lenin's Body, Space Dogs, and Saint Petersburg
http://newyorkacademyofart.blogspot.com/2015/08/lenins-body-space-dogs-and-saint.html
Lenin's Body, Space Dogs, and Saint Petersburg. By Lowell Poisson (MFA 2016). Who is the poor sap that has to clean him? Is that actually his body? Why is he so pink? What does this accomplish for anyone? Laika and Strelka the Soviet space dogs, stuffed and on permanent display. Onward our group traveled, seeing onion dome cathedrals and icons, beautiful Russian art through a haze of Moscow cigarette smoke. I love this place! Later I greeted Saint Petersburg with a proper sunrise! Monday, August 10, 2015.

New York Academy of Art: Captivated by Istanbul
http://newyorkacademyofart.blogspot.com/2015/08/captivated-by-istanbul.html
Whether it is making friends at cafes, seeing historical structures, visiting museums and galleries, or creating art at Mimar Sinan, the residency here in Istanbul has created a source of inspiration in me that could last a lifetime. Just for an idea of a typical week, I will describe this week so far. Sunday I had the usual çay (tea) at a cafe and made a new friend there after I had sketched him. Later that day I went to the palace and harem of Istanbul, which is exquisite. Wednesday, August 05, 2015.
