Somewhere In Union Square
I took this images enroute to a thanksgiving dinner the streets were almost devoid of people.

A Visit To Newyork Museums
View of Maurizio Cattelan: At the Guggenheim
Detail
The exhibition brings together virtually everything the artist has produced since 1989 and presents the works en masse, strung seemingly haphazardly from the oculus of the Guggenheim’s rotunda. Perversely encapsulating Cattelan’s career to date in an overly literal, three-dimensional catalogue raisonné, the installation lampoons the idea of comprehensiveness. The exhibition is an exercise in disrespect: the artist has hung up his work like laundry to dry.

The Museum of Everyday Life
What I love about travelling the most is discovering little nooks of culture. While sometimes didactic, some museums have a little eccentricity to them. The museum of everyday life is small, but contains things of a bygone era. Some things would probably provoke nostalgia and others well….they probably would do nothing for anyone. It’s all a matter of taste. The pieces in the museum I found most fascinating are the matches. There was the U.S Army Base collection, the California nightclubs collection and the Anchorage Alaska collection. Three collections from the vast holdings of the McCaw-Cook archives, vintage and examples of fine printing and classic advertising imagery of a bygone era. I don’t really know how long they date back……

Characters At The Bread and Puppet Museum
One felt like they were being watched, and at the same time being warned away. Like the puppets came alive.
