R.I.P. Mr. Okra

ARTHUR J. ROBINSON a.k.a. "MR. OKRA"

Robinson died Thursday. He was 75.

His family said he died at home of natural causes.

Arthur J. Robinson a.k.a. “Mr. Okra,” is a simple man in a complicated world. In the age of fast food, strip malls, and mega-markets, Mr. Okra stands as a stark contrast to the high technology and shiny produce markets of the modern world. His is a different world. His is a world steeped in tradition, complicated by its diversity, but simple in its truth. His world is New Orleans. 

In a city known for its music and food…and its characters, Mr. Okra travels the back streets of the Bywater, Tremé and 9th ward, selling his vegetables from his iconic truck…one okra at a time. His unique promotion has made him a fixture in New Orleans and an integral part of the fabric of this community.

Beyond the clichés of Bourbon Street, amid the decadence and decay of one of America’s most unique cities, Mr. Okra is a character from another time. His is an analog world, in a digital age.

Clinamen is by Celeste Bousier-Mougenot in 2013. One hundred and more white porcelain bowls float on the surface of an expansive, intensely blue pool. The water is heated to optimise the porcelain’s acoustic resonance. Swept along by submarine currents, the floating crockery circulates gently, colliding as percussive instruments which create a resonant, chiming soundscape. http://www.ngv.vic.gov.au/exhibition/...
