LACMA

I'm back from a great trip to LA with G, and among the many highlights was a trip to the LA County Museum of Art. I loved the work of Robert Therrien & Haegue Yang, and of course Chris Burden's  installation Urban Light. 

Enjoyable: MAD

I forgot to post about this after my visit last week, but for anyone in NYC, it is definitely worth checking out the exhibit "Second Lives: Remixing the Ordinary" at the Museum of Arts & Design. Artists have taken ordinary everyday objects and transformed them into pretty amazing works of art that are quite painstaking and exquisite. A few examples below. Note: Museum is "pay what you wish" Thursdays from 6-9 p.m.
