With so many things happening around town during the Fringe Festival, both sanctioned and bootlegged, piled-oners, it is easy to let go and take everything around us in as an art related event. The boundaries are loosened and that in itself is a reward. San Francisco’s Bandaloop though, dancing its way down the side of the HSCB building with thousands of people in the street is not something you see everyday. We may have go back for their daylight reprise this afternoon.

We set the alarm for this event on Friday morning, the installation of two John Dodd benches in front of the City News building. John won a City Of Rochester Art Walk Extension Bench Competition and hired our brother, Fran, to help install the two benches he designed. From John’s site; “The two benches were designed to flank an entry walkway. The design point of departure for the set was the idea of a right brain /left brain set. I titled the set “Deflected Reflection”
