like walking through a warhol photograph

This past weekend my parents were in town and I took my mom to MOMA. She had never been, and loved the fact that I could get in free with my company's corporate membership. 

There's so much great stuff there right now ... the color exhibit is fun, and I always love seeing Dan Flavin pieces. The highlight, though, wasn't Flavin, though it was clearly Flavin-inspired. Scandinavian artist Olafur Eliasson's Take Your Time features site-specific light installations, much like Flavin. The picture to the left was taken in a hallway, which, with the help of overhead orange light, transforms the space and creates the effect of walking through an overexposed photograph. Another highlight was a piece I called "The Fortress of Solitude", a circular wall of shifting color fields. 

I love light installations, it makes the spectator a participator in the piece, and also powerfully transforms space. It's like wading through celluloid.

in the future, all graffiti will look like this

Gothamist, the go-to for all local New York news, quirky and otherwise, found this image of graffiti on 9th st. between 2nd and 3rd. That's my 'hood, man!

It looks like the melding of two worlds, one animated, one otherwise, like Who Framed Roger Rabbit? or, if you're sinister, Videodrome.

Apparently, it's been tagged since installation, but you can bet I'm going to be checking it out on my way home from work. For the full coverage, visit Gothamist.
