The Vessel at Hudson Yards in New York City is located at the start of the High Line & Hudson River trek, on Urban Trekking New York. 

Open to the public in March 2019, it is already considered the Eiffel Tower of New York. It is made of interconnected stairs on 16 floors, and its platforms overlook the skyscrapers that have also recently emerged in this place. Its particular shape has also made it compared to a M. C. Escher drawing.

To visit it, it's free, but you have to reserve your place in advance. 

Last but not  least, its name is temporary. It's the public that will decide its final name by going to a site created for this purpose, so if you have some ideas...

Large woodcuts & linocuts - Grandes gravures sur bois & lino

Image
(texte en français ci-dessous)

 Most of my larger prints are now on Images, Voyages, Impressions 1!
"A l'orée du bois", is a hand colored linocut I made in 2000, and re-printed in 2011.For the 2nd edition, I kept the same colors but less of them, and I cut the block on the left side to make it a 6x16"image instead of the 6x16.5" it was before.I wanted this print to look like some of the cave painting you see in the South West of France.
"Le temps des amours IV" is also a linocut and also a second edition but this time, I didn't change anything except the paper!I created the 1st edition in 1987, and it was part of a series of four 12.5x13" linocuts with four different pairs of animals in different stages of courtship (you can see all of them on the 1984-1990 prints page). The paper was different because I had bought it in France in a factory not far from where I was living.I showed them a little then moved abroad. It's only about 20 years ago…

(Texte en français ci-dessous)

Each time someone is coming to visit us for the 1st time, we have to go and see NYC and I use this trek for an introduction to the city. I sometime start at Grand Central, sometimes at Times Square, and it always works well!

David August | DJ live | Brighton Music Hall | Boston
(texte en français ci-dessous)

A single bad photo doesn't do justice to the energy and creativity at play yesterday evening at Brighton Music Hall for a sold out show by German DJ David August, but it's all  I have.

So you'll have to believe me if I say it was great!

Brighton Music Hall is not on any trek from Urban Trekking Boston as it is quite far from Downtown; yet for shows where the performer(s) is(are) next to the public and that ends before midnight instead of starting at midnight, it's a venue to remember.


Une seule mauvaise photo ne rend pas justice à l'énergie et la créativité en jeu hier soir à Brighton Music Hall pour un concert à guichets fermés du DJ allemand David August; c'est pourtant tout ce que j'ai!

Il vous faudra donc me croire si je vous dit que c'était bien!

Brighton Music Hall n'est pas sur les treks de Trekking Urbain à Boston parce que c'est assez loin du centre; ceci …

A John can hide another one - Un John peut en cacher un autre | DJ John Debo & John Digweed, 03-29-2019, Bijou, Boston

-
Image
(texte en français ci-dessous)

First it was John Debo, a long time Bostonian DJ now based in Orlando; then the master and legend John Digweed from England.

The first warmed up nicely a packed room with his unique blend of modular tech; the second brought to Bijou his flawless set of tech house that gained him a 1st place on the annual DJ mag top 100 a few years ago; all for an electrifying night of dance.

Bijou is in the Theater District, not far from Chinatown and on Stuart Street. It can accommodate about 650 people in what was The Bijou Theater in 1882. It's now a chic and futuristic nightclub with super sound and amazing lightning.

If you take the Chinatown, Downtown and Financial District trek , turn left instead of right when you reach Washington St; it will lead you to Stuart St. and Bijou will be somewhere further on your right.

-------------------------------

D'abord ça a été John Debo, un DJ longtemps bostonien mais maintenant basé à Orlando; puis le maître et légende…

New York & New England prints - Gravures de la Nelle Angleterre & New York

(texte en français ci-dessous)

"Cityscape, New York, NY" is one of 13 prints I created since 1994 to share my impressions of New England and New York City.

They were in different places before, but I decided to put them together in relation to Urban Trekking Boston and Urban Trekking New York, with links from these site to them.

I plan to create more prints for this page but right now, and even though it was on my to-do list this winter, I didn't find time to even think about the kind of images I'd like to do. I spent a day on it, to be exact, but I wasn't pleased with what I did!

It means you'll have to keep going on a regular basis to the New England & NYC prints page to see if I've finally done something new!  To be continued, so...
