So, here are some pics from my trip to NYC with Baby Kitty.
The Guggenheim Museum, from across the street
inside the Guggenheim, looking up.
inside the Guggenheim, looking across.
We found this amazing statue when wandering around Manhattan.
i don't know WHAT the deal is, but that's sure a lot of boobs and asscheeks.
This is a fancy building.
Baby Kitty
On the way to the MOMA, we saw this even crazier dissected pregnant lady statue.
fascinating.
and huge.
a different angle. i think she's like 20 - 30 feet tall, though you can't really tell from this pic.
here's one looking up at the fancy building with the pregnant lady in the corner.
this is the easter parade.
i didn't know, but apparently there's a tradition of wandering around in the street by this old church. my friend elizabeth told me she watches
the movie every year with her family, and knew exactly what i was referring to when i described this. weird; i had no idea.
Apparently part of the easter parade is wearing these crazy hats. the three white hats shown here each have little fake chicks (i.e., baby chickens) on them.
inside the MOMA:
if you were around me last April when i saw the
Cremaster cycle, you'll know how excited i was to actually see one of Matthew Barney's statues that accompany the films.
this is a pic of three simultaneously projected screen tests by andy warhol of various actors.
the famous Warhol Elvis. this thing was way bigger than i'd realized, something like 6 feet.
Magritte's
The False Mirror. he's one of my favorite painters, and it was amazing to see some of his work in person.
(The pic is not cropped because i wanted it to look "in context".)
Still another Magritte,
The Lovers. This one's a personal favorite; i think i stood there for 15 minutes.
an image doesn't do this piece much justice, nor will my description. It's a Gary Hill video installation in a recessed wall, with some cool ambient sound. Check
here for more info.
I really liked this one a lot.
Here's some graffitti we saw all over Manhattan, wherever there were designer clothing stores.
That's all the pics... quite a bit less than last time.
