"Cancer mon amour"

 When I left the Harvey theater after seeing Quartett, my emotions were of a mixed miriad. I didn't really know what to think and how to possibly start dissecting the many frustrating aspects of Quartett. This was the general response form my peers as well, in face, no one knew how to interpret or understand what they had just seen. There was just no fluidity or cohesion between any of the many theatrical parts we had just seen thrown together on stage. 

Mel Kendrick's "Markers"

New York sculptor Mel Kendrick's 5 10 foot plus stone sculptors are in Madison Square Park, just a 2 minute walk from Baruch. I am pretty tired of saying this but.. I have no idea what to make of this. There are 5 big stone sculptors, alternating black and white, different, unconventional shapes, smack dab in the middle of Madison Square Park. After reading a bit about his style, all I can make of this is that he made a bunch of grooves and cuts, and cut out pieces to have a bunch of shapes.

Visit to the MoMA

This was my first trip to the MoMA and I really enjoyed it! I'm sure that I could go back and see even more that I didn't notice my first time around, and I look forward to visiting again to view the Tim Burton exhibit.

Museum of Modern Art

On Friday I went to the Museum of Modern Art for the first time ever. I must say that I will be visiting the MOMA over and over again. I thought it was an amazing museum. I really didn't know what to expect when I walked in. I didn't realize the amound of artwork that was in the museum. Last year in highschool I took a humanities course and it extensively covered all of this artwork. When I went to the fifth floor of the museum I felt like I was inside my textbook from last year. It was actually even better then the book.

NYC STREET PERFORMERS

Traveling from Staten Island to Baruch College, I always get to see at least 2 street performances. This is why most of the time I end up with no change for my bag of chips or the extra dollar to buy myself a drink between breaks. It's because I love the street performers and performances so much, I am bound to give them some support/ contribution (money). Whether the the performers are playing an instrument, doing magic tricks, dancing, or singing, they're usually not given the attention as they deserve, which upsets me many times.
