This is a photograph of a barn in Valldal, Norway, known for its unique spiral stone ramp. 

Completed in 1885,  the farmer, Lars Petter Olsen Valldal, spent the next seven years constructing the grassy spiral ramp. 
    The ramp allowed access to both floors of the barn, providing quick storage access to the hay loft.

A hobby of mine is to watch travel/nature shows and then doodle questionable puzzle templates. But I think this batch, inspired by the wonderful @ricksteves.bsky.social isn't too bad - Wells and Glastonbury in the south of England.

Photos show that Miss Pogany had a round face with large eyes and strong eyebrows, and wore her hair in a smooth chignon. Brancusi has refined her features down to the very purest form. The abstract curves of this piece, and of the other 'DanaΓ―des', can be seen as anticipating by some years, aspects of the classicising Art Deco style of the 1920s

The original white marble made from memory appears to have been the one exhibited in Brancusi's one-man show at the Photo Secession Gallery, NY, in March-April 1914 as 'Danaide', which bears a close relationship to the Tate's bronze. It was reworked in 1925, when the facial features were eliminated so as to present a continuous surface, and is now in the Norton Simon Museum of Art, Fullerton, CA. There are altogether 6 bronzes based on the marble, with certain variations in their sizes and surface finish. 

When first acquired by the Tate, this cast was on a base which was clearly not original and did not suit it. After a further unsuccessful experiment, a new limestone base was made for it in 1976 copied as closely as possible from the base of the cast in the Brancusi studio, and the head was set on it at exactly the same angle.

Constantin Brancusi : DanaΓ―de, 1918

This is a stylised portrait of Margit Pogany, a Hungarian art student Brancusi met in Paris in 1910. He made a marble head of her from memory, then invited her to his studio. He was delighted when she recognised it.

Masking tape wall art ("tape-ups") were all over the campus when I was there, especially on the big brick wall at the RISD Beach. It was often a way to draw attention to your opening/show, and the more creative you were with the tape, the more folks came to your thing

While I enjoyed β€œSecret Mall Apartment” as a RISD 01 grad, RIP Fort Thunder and Buddy Cianci - Michael did not come up with the wall tape art idea at all, it’s a long school tradition
