the end/the begining

Yesterday finally went to Moma for the first time since I got here. Didn't felt like going. The place is a bit like a airport. Too crowded, too big. But the food is amazing!! It's really the best museum cafetaria I've ever been. You have to wait, but the reward is big and the price small.
There are 2 great shows at the moment. Vik Muniz curated groupshow's (read NYTimes about it) The best groupshow I have seen in a long time. Not only art; also a brown paperbag, a piece of bubblewrap, some known artworks and some unknown.
A bit like my book.
The Marlene Dumas show is fantastic.
The Van Gogh show was sold out.
And next year Moma will open a big Amsterdam-show!

These are two shows I saw a week ago in Chelsea. Michelangelo Pistolleto with prostitutes printed on large mirrors.


And Nathalie Djurberg and Zach Feure with a very nice installation of ceramics, stop motion animation and dirty curtains.A great show..
