December

Christmas has passed by me.

(and I haven't seen any store windows back home in Texas quite like Bergdorf's)



It's time for choices.

(It's nearly New Years, after all.)

November

The cold of winter is coming through my cracked window today. I finally cleaned my apartment after someone came to view my embarrassingly messy space. I guess I really will be leaving the city next month. I'm not sure how to feel about this.

Also, I meant to post this visit a while back:

Take a look at the swimming pool.

Day, Night, Morning

Day:
I've walked by these sculptures several times. Usually water is flowing from the creature's eyes.





Night: The view from 7 World Trade Center.





Morning: Yum.

Banksy's Pet Shop

It was a sunny October day(see above) so I ventured over to Banky's Pet Shop - "The Village Pet Store and Charcoal Grill"- for a look (since today was the last day for it to be open). I had walked by the pet shop before but hadn't realized what it was. Here's some of what I saw:


A bunny at her vanity.



Graceful fish sticks.



(I think the mustard bottle was a nice touch.)

Dark and Light

This past Friday evening I watched people roam about the darkened Guggenheim with headlamps to light the way during Peter Huyghe's participatory event for theanyspacewhatever exhibit at the museum. Possible reactions included:

excitement
confusion
playfulness
questioning
distraction
copycatting

When was the last time you were someplace when the lights went out? What was your reaction?

Dia: Beacon

Today I went with the group of Guggenheim interns to Dia: Beacon. The train ride and area was refreshing to see- so many trees with leaves changing to yellow and red hues.

The space is filled with natural light and feels never-ending. My two favorite works:

You see I am here after all by Zoe Leonard

because I felt nostalgic looking at all of the postcards from Niagra Falls (even though I have never been there) and enjoyed reading any visible handwritten words.

Torqued Ellipse II, Double Torqued Ellipse, and Torqued Ellipse I by Richard Serra

because his work transported me to a different world and confused my senses (one is able to walk inside...).

Coney Island

The first train I take to my internship reads the end stop as "Coney Island." I decided to go to the last stop today- since the weather was so gorgeous. (Too bad I broke my sunglasses yesterday.) October meant a slow day for the place...but it was nice to get away from all the honking and sink my toes into some sand.







Maybe I'll paint something blue?
