WINDSOR LOCKS Traffic will be affected when demolition begins next month on Terminal B at Bradley International Airport, the Connecticut Airport Authority said.

The upper departure roadway after Terminal A and the Sheraton Hotel will be closed permanently. Traffic will be diverted to the lower level after the Sheraton Hotel.

The closing of that part of the roadway is necessary for the demolition of the existing viaduct roadway, the airport said. The right lane in the lower level arrivals roadway will be closed after Terminal A. Signs and lane markings will point out the new traffic pattern.

From Dec. 8 to Dec. 11, the entire upper roadway will be closed and all traffic will be diverted to the lower level from 7:30 p.m. to 3:30 a.m.

The demolition and road closures are anticipated to only cause minor delays, the airport said.

Kevin A. Dillon, the executive director of the airport authority, said in June that terminal was sparsely populated by the the Transportation Safety Administration and the state police, and both were moving out.

Galveston Historical Foundation will open the doors to the 1859 St. Josephs Church for a special exhibition of artist Ann Woods TOWER installation.

The exhibit will open on Saturday, Nov. 15 from 6-9 p.m. for a special History on Tap wine tasting. Tickets are $15 per person and available at http://www.galvestonhistory.org. The installation will also be open, free of charge, Nov. 29 during the Galveston Artwalk from 6-9 p.m.

Woods work generally incorporates two and three-dimensional pieces into dramatic installations.

These environments have a Rococo visual appeal that vividly reference topiaries, bouquets, and desserts, while also acknowledging historical paintings and sculptures.

The large-scale work twist the idea of the traditionally male-made monument into a feminine, animal-shaped super-cake that simultaneously reminds the viewer of the discordant ideas of nurture and humiliation.

Tower is an installation created specifically for St. Josephs Church in Galveston, explains Ann. Being site-specific, it is first and foremost inspired by the churchs impressive Gothic revival altar and other decorations. Secondary inspiration includes Byzantine mosaics of Jesus as a shepherd surrounded by his flock and monumental Baroque sculptures commonly found in Cathedrals.

Tower is created out of manipulated taxidermy sheep forms, frosting-like poured foam, and craft store items such as artificial flowers, glitter, pom-poms, and push pins. It mimics wooden hunting towers that historically were hastily built on-site by hunters in need of a birds-eye view of their prey, while simultaneously referencing a tiered cake stand.

Conceptually, Tower plays loosely with the story of the Tower of Babel as well as the Gothic ideal of tall buildings and spires meant to direct your eyes up to heaven. Also important is the religious idea of sheep and lambs as the symbol of innocence and sacrifice (the sacrificial lamb) and the obvious association of Jesus as the Lamb of God.

The oldest German Catholic Church in Texas and the oldest wooden church building in Galveston, St. Josephs was built by German immigrants in 1859-60.

The building is a simple wooden gothic revival structure, rectangular with a square bell tower with trefoil window. The softly painted interior features a coffered ceiling with painted quatrefoils and other gothic symbols, plaster of Paris Stations of the Cross with German inscriptions dating from the early years of the 20th century and the original, elaborate main and side altars with reredos as well as many of the original statues and altar furnishings.

Confections of pleated rope and metal. Helmets in the shape of snarling dragons, toothy eels and a flaming jewel. Plus warriors on horseback charging through an exhibtion hall adorned with a blood-red ceiling. The exhibition"Samurai: Japanese Armor from the Ann and Gabriel Barbier-Mueller Collection"at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art is not some dusty arms-and-armor show.

For one, there's the cinematic design installation (by Kulapat Yantrasast of WHY Architecture). Plus, there's the nature of the works themselves pieces of primarily ceremonial armor from the 19th century, when the samurai phenomenon was at the end of its roughly 700-year run. It's a show with a lot of drama.

One piece, however, is a standout: a suit crafted in the middle of the 19th century with an elaborate feathered helmet in the shape of a ferocious-looking mythical bird demon known as a tengu, a creature that is often associated with the art of warfare. This half-man/half-bird figure is a common motif in Japanese art. LACMA, in fact, has various pieces in its permanent collection that depict the creature in various guises. These include an exquisite turn-of-the-19th century mask, as well as a hilariously cartoonish Kitagawa Hidemaro block print from the early 1800s, which shows a tengu being born.

"It's one of the most visually striking pieces in the show," curator Robert T. Singer, who also oversees LACMA's Japanese art department, says of the armor. "You're not looking at a human face. It's an animal face."

There are the other details, too: the hemp skirt that dangles like a bird's tail, the elaborately stiched leather apron and the rope tassles that hang from the armor's chest. Then there is the way the armor reflects the outline of a rippling warrior body (hubba hubba).

"I particularly love the articulation of the muscles and the ribs in the breastplate," Singer says. "You see the sinews in the arm. It makes it really unusual, really powerful."

The suit would have been used for ceremonial purposes, for the long processions that warriors made from their home towns to Edo (what is now Tokyo). As they rode through the countryside, this elaborate gear would have been intended as the ultimate tough guy fashion statement. Explains Singer: "Essentially, they're showing off."

"Samurai: Japanese Armor from the Ann and Gabriel Barbier-Mueller Collection"is on view through Feb. 1 at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, 5905 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles, lacma.org.
