Los Angeles, CA
Today is packed full of events. A family funeral at 10am, a friend’s wedding at 3pm and then a flight to Thailand at 11pm. It will involve over 3 outfit changes and over a hundred miles traveled even before I get on the plane tonight.
Thia really means that this is the last blog I will write from the US. Next time I post, I will be in Thailand and I hope that our travels in search of the holy grail will be far more interesting.
Before I go, I would like to share this with you. Last week when we were in NYC, we went to the MOMA to see Olafur Eliasson’s exhibit. I was rather crazy about what he did back at the Tate Modern a few years back so my hope were high. There were a thing or two that were interesting — think my favorite – also the one that proved his idea of challenging perception and reality is the monochromatic lights that lines the hall ways. Everything else, I was amused but couldn’t help but feel that there was a science fair / circus trick element to it. They were all so simple – I know that I have either seen it before or I have made similar things for Theatrical Applications back in the days. Maybe that is the point – not that its a challenge of our perceptions but how EASILY our perceptions can be altered. Any thoughts on that?
