The Unseen World permanent installation by Kate Kaman

We met Kate Kaman a few years back. She was making large scale sculpture and had a couple very large pieces that were temporary installations. This week we were lucky enough to be invited to the Dedication of Kate Kaman's permanent installation at Temple University Medical Education and Research Building the Wendy and Solomon Luo, MD, Auditorium. The Unseen World is a dynamic larger-than-life sculptural depiction of the most plentiful and ancient microscopic life forms - bacteria.

Seen and liked: Plamen Veltchev and Alison Stigora at LG Tripp

On our walking tour yesterday, before all the shows change over, we stopped by LG Tripp. The show features two versions of aggressive by Plamen Veltchev and Alison Stigora. Veltchev's feature sharp machine made objects while Stigora's are made of ominous yet less threatening wood.

The huge installation in the back room will surprise you. Go and experience this show before it closes. We'd love to know what you think.

You won't come out of this show without an opinion.
