i went to dude's show at le musee yesterday. the 360 degree color part was my fave. i stood really close to the wall and filled my entire frame of vision with it and it felt like i was floating in whatever color was happening at the time. yes, one could probably do this with any wall, but this wall changed color. get it? it was fun to watch other people's reactions to the installations, and it was family day - oh goodie! - and so there were tons of munchkins running around, which usually gives me the urge to press extremely hard on (hard on!)both of my temples until my head collapses in on itself, but i have to admit that in the MOMA it was refreshing. also there was one room with a fine spray of mist falling from the ceiling and people were walking under it and looking up like it was the damnedest thing, and as they did a soft light fell on their canadian faces and it felt like i was watching them in their own dreams, all full of wonder, but also with their mouths hanging open. anyway, any of these installations, taken by itself - not so impressive. but all together it was totally worth it. well, not like i paid to get in.but if i had.
