Celebrating our Knockouts

Can we brag for a second? Our students keep knocking us out!
 

Lesley, Sarah, and Ellis took a field trip to the FLAG Art Foundation to see this exquisite bronze by our student Patricia Cronin. On view through January 20, Patty’s work is part of Friends and Lovers, an installation celebrating the centrality of intimate relationships to artmaking.

“At the beginning of the twenty-first century, same sex marriage was illegal in the United States and there were no important monuments dedicated to women or LGBTQ+ figures. I designed Memorial To a Marriage as a double portrait of myself and my (now) wife, artist Deborah Kass. To ensure its public presentation, I purchased our future burial plot in Woodlawn Cemetery, Bronx, NY, a national historic landmark, and installed the original marble sculpture there. On view through eternity, what I was denied in life, I would have forever in death.”

On December 3, Joseph Logan placed third in the 50+ age group at the California International Marathon with a time of 2:45:37. That’s an  average of 6:19 per mile! This was Joseph’s fourth marathon in the last two years.

“The last three were all very difficult despite solid training blocks; I was severely dehydrated and injured after each one. In addition to solving my hydration and fueling issues, this one was different because I went into it and came out of it injury-free, which I credit to six months of consistent Pilates with KO. Thank you, Lesley and Sarah!”
 

No, Joseph, thank YOU for the inspiration! And thanks to all of you who came to sweat, stretch, and breathe with us this year.
