MoMA PS1

Paid a quick visit to MoMA, but not the one you may know, and if so, probably love. Whilst (I've been told off a few times for using that word in the states, they only use 'while' over here, don'tchaknow) the old MoMA was being redone a few years ago they boldly went where most Manhattanites fear to tread and opened a second branch in Queens.

Unlike the famous Midtown branch of MoMA, this one focuses on more contemporary art that tries to push boundaries (read: pretentious). Whilst (ah, hahaha, take that, US English dictionary!) we were there, we being Chris Kline, his wife Lisa and myself, there was an exhibition on of a girl who photographed herself crying every day for a year. It was as bad as it sounds.

However, there was also this piece of awesomeness:


A giant interactive retro-video-game-wall/piece-of-cutting-edge-art. Not sure who it's by, but I'm guessing they are probably japanese.

Best art I've seen in a while.

I also loved their lamps. I'd have these at home...
