August 24, 2007 Dansk tekst til venstre English text on the right Dagens baghave: Backyard of the Day: Stuart Collection and University of California San Diego, La Jolla, San Diego County, California The Stuart Collection is located around the campus of UCSD, located in La Jolla, San Diego County, California.   Vi parkerede kolonihavehuset på UCSDs campus og drog afsted på jagt efter nogle af de mange kunstværker, som skolen huser. We parked the "vacation home" on the UCSD campus and took off on a scavenger hunt for the many works of art housed here.     U N D A by Ian Hamilton Finlay 1987 - Stuart Collection   Bogstaverne VNDA (latin: bølge) står på hver stenblok i forskellig rækkefølge. The letters VNDA (latin: wave) is written on each stone block in various arrangements.       Yuacateca Sentada by Francisco Zuñica 1976   Jeg elskede denne lille statue... I just loved this little statue...

Something Pacific by Nam June Paik 1986 - Stuart Collection   En eller anden dybsindig kommentar på TVs indflydelse i samfundet... Men kønt var det spil'me ikke! Some sort of thoughtful commentary on TV's influence on society. But it wasn't attractive, I'll tell you that!     Trees by Terry Allen 1986 - Stuart Collection   April leder efter de magiske træer i eucalyptus-lunden. April looking for the magical trees in the eucalyptus grove.   Vi fandt først det syngende træ, som var lige midt i et 50er nummer... We first found the singing tree, which was in the middle of a 50's number...   The Spud lytter til poesi-træet. The Spud listening to the poetree.   Det sidste træ står foran biblioteket og siger ingenting. ...Og ja, jeg elskede træerne. The last tree stands in front of the library and is silent. ...And yes, I loved the trees.

UCSDs bibliotek, Geisel Library, er den eneste stål- og betonbygning, jeg nogensinde har været fuldstændig forgabt i. Bygningen er et kunstværk i sig selv. Og jeg har tilbragt flere timer her, end jeg kan tælle, da jeg gik i skole. UCSD's library, Geisel Library, is the only steel and concrete building I've ever been completely in love with. That building is a piece of art in its own right. I spent more hours here than I can count, back in those days when I was still going to school.   Biblioteket er hjem til masser af krage- og svalereder. The library is home to lots of crows' and swallows' nests.

Read/Write/Think/Dream by John Baldessari 2001 - Stuart Collection   Læs/Skriv/Tænk/Drøm er passende nok indgangen til biblioteket. Read/Write/Think/Dream is appropriately the entrance to the library.   Theodor Seuss Geisel Memorial by Lark Grey Dimond-Cates 2002     The library was named in honor of Dr. Seuss, who is kicking back outside with the Cat in the Hat. I almost felt compelled to sit down and chat with the man, that's how life-like the statue is. Biblioteket er opkaldt efter Dr. Seuss, som sidder udenfor og hygger sig med Katten i Hatten. Man får helt lyst til at sætte sig ned og få en sludder med manden, så livagtig er statuen.     Snake Path by Alexis Smith 1992 - Stuart Collection   Jeg var vild med slangestien, som snor sig forbi en stor stenbog med et citat fra Miltons "Det Tabte Paradis". Som forresten er en rigtig god bog. I really loved the snake path, which winds its way past a large stone book with a quote from Milton's "Paradise Lost". Which, by the way, is a great book.   "Da vil du ikke vægre dig ved at forlade dette Paradis, men vil have et langt lykkeligere Paradis indeni." "Then wilt thou not be loth to leave this Paradise, but shalt possess a Paradis within thee, happier far."

Vices and Virtues by Bruce Nauman 1988 - Stuart Collection   Når det bliver mørkt skifter neonskriften på bygningen mellem syv dyder og syv laster. When it is dark the neon writing on the building alternates between 7 virtues and 7 vices.         Bear by Tim Hawkinson 2005 - Stuart Collection   Kan man være andet end vild med den her? Can you be anything but crazy about this one?   Den er større, end den ser ud til... It's a whole lot bigger than it looks...

Untitled by Michael Asher 1991 - Stuart Collection   Hmmm... ja. Det er en drikkefontæne. Jeg fatter det heller ikke. Hmmm... yup. It's a drinking fountain. And nope, I don't get it either.   Der går rygter om, at man bliver mere intelligent af at drikke vandet... Rumor has it that drinking the water here makes you intelligent...     Der står en sten til minde om marinesoldaternes "Camp Calvin B. Matthews," som lå her mellem 1917 og 1964. A stone memorializes the Marine Corps' "Camp Calvin B. Matthews," which was here from 1917 to 1964.     Terrace by Jackie Ferrara 1991 - Stuart Collection   Jeg fatter det ikke... ~ I don't get it...

Two Running Violet V Forms by Robert Irwin 1983 - Stuart Collection   Jeg fatter det stadig ikke... ~ I still don't get it...       Sun God by Niki de Saint Phalle 1983 - Stuart Collection   Jeg elsker Niki de Saint Phalle, om ikke andet så fordi hun altid er så festlig. I love Niki de Saint Phalle, if for no other reason, because she is always so festive.       Green Table by Jenny Holzer 1992 - Stuart Collection   Jeg elskede også det grønne bord. Granit. Jeg elsker bare granit. I absolutely loved the green table. Granite. I just love granite.

Red Shoe by Elizabeth Murray 1996 - Stuart Collection   Mere charmerende end smuk, men man kan dårligt lade være med at blive i godt humør af den! It's more charming than beautiful, but you really can't help but let it put you in a cheerful mood!
