wow. yesterday i took the day off and spent it with the gal in NYC.

we went to the modern museum of art for the two new exhibits they have.

firstly, we hit the Van Gogh exhibit. they have nearly all of his works on display, from early journals, to letters to his brother and lover, with all the paintings and drawing around today.

very interesting. they started with his early works with simple techniques and progressed through his life ending in his lunacy at the asylum focused around starry night.

my personal favorite is not the infamous staryy night, but starry night over the rhone. i got lost in this one for about 15 minutes.




the other exhibit in an interactive movie exhibit about relaxation.

basically they set up the large atrium with a giant purple doughnut couch and a ton of pillows. they play this sublime ambient music while playing a looped 15 minute film on the 4 story walls surrounding the atrium. very trippy, but wow. worth it.

if anyone is in or around NYC over the next few weeks, i really suggest you see these, notably the van gogh, as the collection of works will rarely come together again.

man i am pissed. i was at a hotel down the road from moma and didnt go due to lack of time... me and the missus were dieing to go too! upset now that we missed it
