And now that we have our referral we are moving to a new blog site too ... which is
The bon voyage party for Richard and Sandy was from 4-8 pm. We decided to check out this exhibit before going to their party when the Buddhist monk was going to chant at 4 pm and both of us were glad we did.
Besides being the best public art project I've seen in Cincinnati since my return here three years ago, Shinji Turner-Yamamoto's Global Tree Project: Hanging Garden at Mount Adams' old (and otherwise empty) Holy Cross Church is so contemplatively beautiful it should be permanent. But that would create a problem - - one of the two trees suspended by wires in the middle of the former sanctuary is alive and needs care and watering. (It's the one on top.) The Japanese-born artist, who lives in Cincinnati and also has a concurrent exhibition, Disappearances, at Contemporary Arts Center, has devised a watering system, a jewel of technical invention. But he could still use your prayers. To that end, Sri Lanken monks from the Ohio Buddhist Vihara will chant on its behalf from 3-6 p.m. Saturday and Japanese monks will chant at noon, 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. on Sunday. Admission is free; parking is available. The church is at 1055 St Paul Place. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could find worthy art projects for our other empty inner-city churches and sanctuaries?

We've been told that the next referrals for China will be sent out next week. The CCAA has been closed for Moon Festival from 9/22 - 24, so chances are they wouldn't make it to the US until later in the week at the earliest.
