Ringing Out 2008 at Moma

The 31st of December, a few of us went to Moma to check out the Pipilotti Rist and the Marlene Dumas exhibits. Pipilotti Rist's "Pour Your Body Out" was pretty blissfully chill, and made for some great pics:


Being down in it was kind of like being inside a giant lava lamp.




We also went through the Rebus exhibit of Moma holdings curated by artist Vik Muniz. Here's Brooke, Julia, and Ian trying to tell the difference between art and life. (Where's Bich thu?)



Marlene Dumas was excellent btw, but no pictures allowed. Here's one I cadged from the www! This one is less sinister than most of the paintings on view at Moma.

Pop Rally at Moma

Last night we went to a hyperarty "happening" at Moma. Lots of hipsters, free drinks, and Cat Power! Sober! She was super coherent, but sang a short set - possibly because there were a *lot* of people talking. But she didn't throw a tantrum or anything! Instead, she came out and sang a completely charming a capella encore, mostly to Doug Aitken (whom the whole shebang was ostensibly about), but with a few shy smiles at the audience - unheard of! Then it was free posters for all and home to bed (for me at least).
