San Sebastian + Bilbao, Spain 11.09.07

San Sebastain is a wonderful and clean city. Asti's paranoia of pet droppings has been subdued in Basque country. Pintxos and txacoli are specialty food + drinks.

Moneo's Kursaal.

Eduardo Chillida sculptures, Chillida Leku. Wonderful outdoor sculpture museum. I fall under the group of people who are particularly intregued with his series of rough massive objects (stone, steel) with sharp, smooth boxes subtracted and interconnected to create these almost architectural voids. Perhaps coming from his architecture training.


Bilbao's airport, Calatrava. Lots and lots of custom steel.

Another one of his elegant bridges.

Guggenheim Museum and "Mama" spider sculpture.

Fuel guzzling art.
