Triple The Fun

Any way you slice it..

..you can't beat a New York classic.

Oh, Say Can You See..

Tiles For America

Tiles For America was started on September 12, 2001, in response to the events of September 11th.  Now consisting of 6000+ tiles decorating the chain link fence around Mulry Square in the West Village, these ceramic messages of hope, courage, patriotism, unity, support, and love have been sent from people across the United States and around the world.

It IS Pretty Super

I think I read somewhere that you can survive for weeks with only a jar of peanut butter, ice tea mix, corn oil, ketchup, and a few pieces of fruit.

(Or was that me in college..)

I See Spots

Went to the Whitney Museum to see the Yayoi Kusama retrospective exhibition. Yep, she's weird.  Lots of dots, patterns, and psychedelic colours, which were indicative of her involvement in, and influence on, the New York avant-garde art scene of the 60's, alongside contemporaries such as Andy Warhol.

My favourite part of the exhibition was her installation Fireflies on Water (2002) - a 12 ft. square cube which you enter to experience, one person at a time; once the door closes behind you and you walk along a narrow elevated path to the center of the cube, you are surrounded by mirrors on the walls and ceilings, and water below, with the room lit by 150 small coloured lights.

  

Yayoi Kusama, Fireflies on Water (2002)

For the minute you're standing there alone in silence, there's the amazing sensation of floating in the middle of infinity. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area. (Note: you need to go early to get a time slot to view Fireflies on Water, as it's only 1 person per minute x however many hours they're open, so you do the math..). The exhibition coincides with Kusama's collaboration with Louis Vuitton, which you can check out here.
