National Council on Public History (NCPH; @publichistorian) Instagram Takeover, Day 1 of 5. Continued.
Hello there, it’s kennedy, (@wrkshapkilowatt) checking in for my NCPH Instagram Day 1, Evening Post.
Now that we’re on the train, let’s explore a different take on the word that so many of us know — the proposal. Whether it’s the CFP (call for proposal) or the RFP (request for proposal), if you work, study, and/or advocate in the history world, you have replied to one of these or drafted one or both of these many times. The word proposal is also the beginning of a union among humans and perhaps between buildings and humans of the romantic sort? 😊
Just for fun, for all the building lovers out there ... if you could marry a building, which building would you pick? Yes, you read that correctly, if you could marry a building, which building would you pick? Feel free to share in the comments.
Well, my answer is the Guggenheim Museum in NYC. And, this time last week, I did something beyond my wildest dreams — I walked as a model in the museum … and up, to the very top of this temple of art … in 6” heels, too.
The Guggenheim and I did not say our “I do’s”, but it was a marriage of sorts of some of my favorites and inspirations for the offering of my life and practice of architecture: the Guggenheim (@guggenheim), Nick Cave’s art (@nickcaveart), fashion, community, Frank Lloyd Wright, and architecture in general. I share this experience with you with gratitude to all involved in the program.
Perhaps we’ll see more of Nick Cave’s art in our New York subway adventures this week …
