Fall favorites

A busy few weeks of art-going.  What I enjoyed:
--Doug and Mike Starn's Big Bambú: You Can't, You Don't, and You Won't Stop on the Met's roof all summer, which just closed.  Beautiful, whimsical, experiential, it's probably my favorite of the museum's summer rooftop installations. And I'm surprised that I found only one acknowledgment that the subtitle is from the Beastie Boys' 1994 song "Sure Shot." (itself perhaps an homage to the Sugar Hill Gang's Rapper's Delight?)
--The solid retrospective of Charles Burchfield at the Whitney.  The reputation of his late paintings is of aggressively weird spiritual vegetation, but Dandelion Seed Heads and the Moon (1961-65, the last image on this page) was revelatory.  Another room papered in a wallpaper of Burchfield's design was lovely, and as I've noted before, he painted melting snow like no one else.
--Rivane Neuenschwander at the New Museum.  Her Rain Rains (2002, image here)--pails suspended from the ceiling, slowly dripping water from holes at the bottom into buckets on the floor--offered visuals, sound, and good conversation with the guard who described the wet process of refilling the whole thing every few hours.
