How impressive is this!
The first snow of the season fell on NYC overnight and this morning, honestly, it was absolutely gorgeous outside! Before the lovely pristine blanket of white could transform into grey slush and filthy mounds flecked with soot and dog feces, I decided to bundle up like an Eskimo and enjoy one of the greatest simple pleasures of life in New York City: a Sunday trip to the Guggenheim Museum.
The Guggenheim currently features a career retrospective of American artist Richard Prince, and his work is just fantastic. I laughed my ass off at a lot of his “Joke” canvases, avoided slipping into a “Museum Coma” and was back downtown in Union Square in time to do a little Holiday shopping at the crafts market. Read more about the exhibit and see photos of some of Prince’s featured work below. Spiritual America runs through January 9, 2008.

Tracy and I went to see British artist Mike Nelson’s A Psychic Vacuum Installation / Exhibit today and it was AWESOME! While the installation is pretty indescribable, if I was forced to describe the experience of being inside the “Psychic Vacuum” I’d say it was like a combination of a nightmare, a David Lynch movie and a history lesson in Lower East Side Immigration. If you live in NYC, do go while you can. It’s open weekends only through October 28th.
I read the Post Secret blog every Sunday morning. Today they had this movie posted on the site and asked readers to share it on their own blogs, so I am doing that now. Have a beautiful Sunday everyone.
Geoffrey and I spent a few hours this afternoon uptown at the Whitney Museum of Contemporary Art blowing our minds at their current exhibit, Summer of Love, which is so amazing it will make your head explode. We were able to get in free with my ID card from work, but it’s totally worth the $15 admission. One of my favorite parts of the exhibit was the Roomful of Mirrors, while Geoffrey couldn’t stop talking about this one installation Phantasy Landscape Visiona II, by Verner Panton, which he repeatedly referred to as “The Vagina Room.”
