Yesterday I went to the Guggenheim Museum. It was almost overwhelming, it was like being in a visual/sensory russian dolls. first of all to be in the city of New York with all of its stimulus, and then to be in the actual Guggenheim, my first time in a Frank Lloyd Wright designed building, and then to be looking at amazing old paintings by the likes of Vuillard and Kandinsky, and then at top of that to be taking in all of the brush strokes of the paintings. It was difficult after a while to continue to take everything in, to try, during my 4-5 hours there, to keep noticing the building from its many levels and nooks and crannies and changes in light, as well as to take in all of the art.
The main attraction was Richard Prince. I got what he was doing with his work, his commentaries on consumerism, the american dream, its pulls and repulsion, but I didn't find it to be that layered of work, it got a bit tiresome after a while.
It was pretty intense, while going to the restroom, which were these intimate triangular rooms, to think, this space was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, and I felt very close to his artwork in those moments!
My friends Nikki and Anjali going for breakfast at a diner before they both headed back to Providence then to England.
Today I will spend the day in Brooklyn, tomorrow, to the Met, which takes up something like four blocks. wtf!
