I took last Friday off for a short staycation and went to the MoMA.
I was really excited to view Song Dong's latest exhibit "Waste Not."
This deeply personal yet exhibitionist installation displayed the entire contents from the home of the artist's mother, "amassed over fifty years during which the Chinese concept of wu jin qi yong, or "waste not," was a prerequisite for survival. The assembled materials, ranging from pots and basins to blankets, oil flasks, and legless dolls, form a miniature cityscape that viewers can navigate around and through."
The other exhibit I really wanted to see and participate in was Roman Ondák's "Measuring the Universe" where museum attendants will mark at the height, the visitor's names and the date on the wall. It was pretty f'awesome.
Getting measured.
Attendant writing my name...
His!
Hers!
RISD grad Jenny Holtzer's "Truisms." Hey people, eating too much is criminal. Criminally delightful and delicious that is.
