[AsburyPark] Re:Public Art in Asbury Park

2008-07-07 Thread Linda Griggs
The waterfalls are absolutely beautiful.  And I understand they've 
already generated more income that they cost (although most of the cost 
was private, corporate donation.)  The thing I loved about them too was 
the way they smell.  All that river water spray lets you smell the river 
and now that it's become cleaner it smells lovely. 

So, as for public art in Asbury watch for a painting on the garage 
door of the the 4th and Main gas station.  I got permission from the 
owner.

How about a free summer movie series like they have in Bryant Park? 
A little something to do at night to keep the day trippers around for 
dinner and shopping.

[AsburyPark] Re: An Idea for AP - love painted barriers

2007-11-14 Thread Linda Griggs
Well, you gotta know I love the artist painting barriers idea.

I also keep thinking about point of difference in marketing.  That AP 
encourages art would be part of that point of difference.

BTW, did you know that artists not only gentrify a neighborhood when 
they move in, they also keep a sort of fraudulent runaway gentrification 
from happening by stabilizing it.

I've read this before but I'm also seeing it happen in my building on 
the Lower East Side.

[AsburyPark] Artist designed Putt Putt Golf

2007-09-13 Thread Linda Griggs



We need more Putt-Putt!

I saw an artist designed Miniature Golf at the South St. Seaport.  It 
was really, really cool.  And these things are really popular.  I'd love 
to see one in the convention center or the Casino.

The info below is from the Minneapolis version:

Hours: Weather permitting, Thursday-Saturday, 10 am-8 pm; Sunday, 11 
am-8 pm. Labor Day: Monday, September 6, 11 am-8 pm. Last tee time is 1 
hour before closing. Wait times can be in excess of an hour. You must 
appear in person to get on the wait list.

In case of inclement weather, Mini Golf will reopen within 30 minutes of 
the conclusion of the weather event. If weather remains an issue at 5pm 
on weekdays or 2pm on weekends and holidays, we will not reopen until 
the next regularly scheduled game day.

The sights in the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden just keep getting more 
like Alice's Wonderland: to a setting that already includes a mirrored 
labyrinth, a bronze rabbit leaping a bell, and an enormous 
spoon-and-cherry fountain, add an ice-fishing shack, a twisty pachinko 
game, and architectural ruins from 1933-not to mention a few dozen golf 
clubs. Walker in the Rough, a mini-golf course designed by area artists 
and architects, is now open, offering 10 flights of fancy for goofy 
golf fanatics and novices alike. Though these stylish holes can't be 
placed on a par with mini golf's customary roadside-art standards of 
taste, they have been created especially for the Garden. Join us for 
mini golf, Walker-style, now through Labor Day.

The Holes
Black Hole, Walker staff members; O-par-ation, Troy Kampa; Pachinko 
Generation, Zander Brimijoin and Luke Burgdorf; Mini Golf Smackdown, 
Takuma Handa and Daniel Vercruysse; Winter in Summer; Ice-Fishing 
House, Bill Gorcica; Courthouse Folly, Clayton Johnson and Brian 
Nowak; Frank's Frolic, Don McNeil and Thomas Oslund; Untitled, 
Burlesque of North America (Mike Davis, Aaron Horkey, Skye Rossi, George 
Thompson, Wes Winship, and Larry Winship); Bolfing for Gowlers, Karl 
Frankowski; and one by Target staff members. Special thanks to the 
judges who selected the winning designs: Kinji Akagawa, artist; Bob 
Fine, President, Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board; Richard Flood, 
Chief Curator, Walker Art Center; Julie Snow, architect, Julie Snow 
Architects; Hilary Lunke, professional golfer, 2003 U.S. Women's Open 
Champion; and the Walker Art Center Teen Arts Council.

[AsburyPark] Re: Artist designed Putt Putt -- is only temporary.

2007-09-13 Thread Linda Griggs
It's an event. An installation.  They aren't permanent. 
The one in NYC had a big bunny covered in interlocking Cheetos.

Asbury has some great things going for it, like artists, plenty of artists.
And it seems to need winter events.

I like the way the Minneapolis one worked with local HS students.

You'd need a grant though. 
Because you'd need insurance and all.  And someone to tell the artists, 
No, you can't use an actual swinging, skill saw.

[AsburyPark] jailhouse shiv ditched on Main and 4th - Cameo Bar

2007-09-05 Thread Linda Griggs
I called the police on Sunday AM when I found the home made knife, a 
metal piece sharpened to act at a slashing razor (no stabbing point) 
with a handle made of foam wrapped in blue duct or electrical tape, in 
front of my house.I didn't bother my neighbor who is a police 
officer, since it was early in the day and I bug him enough already.

Our house was a crack house with some gang connections and I've always 
given the bullets, live and exploded, that we've found while renovating. 
(This is funny in an Asbury Park way...a guest of the neighbor on the 
other side was telling us about the time the police did a raid and 
arrested a known, vicious drug dealer who'd taken up residence there.  
This dealer has several serious birth defects.  He's a little person and 
his arms are truncated as if his mother or grandmother took 
thalidomide.  But he can still ride a little bike.  He steers just fine 
with his stumps so he gets around and is said to have an hellacious 
mouth on him.  So our neighbor is chuckling about the time the police 
came and rounded up all the crack heads and how they had to put hand 
cuffs on this little guy with no hands. 

Anyway, that's history.  This knife, though, wasn't 'urban archeology'.

Our cop neighbor speculated that the owner of the knife came from the 
Cameo Bar (main bet. 4  5).  Bad stuff happens there aplenty, I guess.

If I could afford the web cam hook up I'd put a surveillance video in my 
window just to show the little crack dealer and his crew in the parking 
lot of the Welsh Farms on 4th and to show who leaves the Cameo Bar.
