Sequence and Band are two works by Richard Serra that you can find at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. There is a sort of perversion in the use of acronym in LA, because the works are hosted in the Broad Contemporary Art Museum (BCAM), which is a single building – by Renzo Piano – included in the previous LACMA.

By the way, the Richard Serra donation is astonishing. Two big rooms at the first floor host the exposition, one for each work. You can touch, you can go inside them, in a game of moving lines. I include a photo I took, pay attention that to make pictures is forbidden, but you can easily hide yourself behind these enormous works. I don’t agree with this picture prohibition that rules in all museums, but MOMA in NY. If you make pictures without flash, what is the problem?

In 2003 the Albe and Lica Steiner archive was given by Lica and family to the Politecnico of Milan.

The archive is almost complete, due to the fact that Albe and Lica were really neat.

My suggestion is to visit the archive at the Campus Bovisa of Politecnico, Via Durando 38/a, IV floor.

I was in the MART of Rovereto last Sunday for seeing The Jazz Century. Art, cinema, music and photography from Picasso to Basquiat.

I didn’t really appreciate that exposition. It talks about jazz as an historical thing, a closed style.  But the jazz is still alive and it doesn’t like to an archive.

I’ve seen a very beautiful shot nevertheless. The more I analyze that picture, the more I feel me inside the frame. Jeff Wall realized it inspired by the Invisible Man book.
