Hi Wendy Haycock. I used to go to TLA and you used to teach me Geography. I remember you being very beautiful, and all the boys loved you lol. I see you married Mr. Haycock, as your name was originally Lee.
Mr. Haycock was a great P.E. teacher.

Anyway, all the best, and healthy living.

An ex-student.

The Young and The Restless episode I referred to aired in Canada on Thursday April 3rd (but I think it airs on Friday in the U.S. (at least where I live (about 1 hour SW of our nation’s Capital – Ottawa, Ontario, Canada) The show opens with an outside view of Urban Lights, then a shot of the sign reading ‘Broad Contemporary Art Museum’ – we are then swept inside to find Victor Neuman (one of the main characters) being shown some contemporary art pieces by a friend of his daughter’s who is in the ‘biz’ and is planning on getting him to perhaps start collecting contemporary art and shows him many pieces – including a few of Jeff Koons. The show ended with the art outside (Chris Burden) display. They did spend quite a bit of time on these pieces and if you would like to see this 1 hour episode I would be happy to make a DVD for you (and David) – just retrieved it from my TiVo ‘deleted’ file and will make a copy and send it to you – my e-mail is registered on this site so Steve if you can send me a personal e-mail (or find me on Facebook) I can get your address and will send a copy onto you – and David too if he wishes. It is well done and the female character described in detail a lot of what went on building the Urban Light display as well as some of the other art pieces inside. It would be my pleasure to make both of you copies – no problem. Hope this is helpful. We do not usually get this well educated in ‘real time’ while watching soap operas – and they say it is all fluff! lol Take Care Wendy

Wendy,

Thanks for the comment, that’s interesting that the work has already made its way into popular culture. Did it appear just for the sake of demonstrating up-to-the-minuteness, or was it also remarked on in some way in the show?

Having never been to Los Angeles, I caught a glimpse of this display on, of all things, The Young and The Restless – in a story line they are using this week. Needless to say I was quite impressed and googled the artist and item until I found your site. To say it was impressive in the daylight cannot hold a candle(power) to the display at night – WOW and a few other adjectives come to mind. BRAVO – TERRIFIC to name a couple. Thanks David for taking your life in your hands – the shot was perfection! After reading the paragraphs above I got the impression that perhaps I should not even comment, feeling unworthy of any useful observation, except maybe a punny one. Thanks for bringing a new light into my life. Wendy
