The focus on this Dali MoMA special exhibition was film. I've been to Rome's and Seoul's before and it was different. When considering it's power, I'd say the Rome's was the best. I dreamed a nightmare at the night since I had got too much shock.
Dali's works has a magical power that stops me to take a look wherever I see. He is not my favorite artist but I don't think his works are awkward or disgusting. One thought is that I should do many works in many ways.
Anyway, the MoMA exhibition was quite disappointing. I may visit several times more to look at a slow tempo but I basically don't like a film. Looking quite ugly edited video, I think my coding could be work even if I did not so good when it has a great concept.

New museum is a contemporary museum. It's difficult to understand, feel that one may say why this is art. Last trip to Europe, the first city, the first museum, the first piece of art was a horse by Maurizio Cattelan. A news that the horse is coming leads me to the museum. Artworks described an after the civilization. A decayed angel, human remains which helps a dead tree stand.
An impressive thing was performance of a girl on the floor. A thought after quite long observation was that was she showing prepared movements or random movements. There might be some difference but I think the both are originally same. A body the girl has was only one and she may definitely have familiar movements with the body. An important thing is a process that breaking the familiar barrier.

I usually visit MET when I feel I'm lost and pay $1 and wandering around, especially alienated rooms. It's been a while to visit modern and contemporary galleries, and there was a shark of Damian Hirst. Turner was not good.

 Renascence. An internatoinal juried exhibition of new media by artists with disabilities. organized and curated by VSA arts.

 Mary Behr, Move!
 Kurt Weston, Paper Doll
 Ju Gosling aka ju90, Making It Very Glamorous
 Ju Gosling aka ju90, Fight
"Fight is a film-dance. It explores themes of growing up and coming out as disabled and of developing Disability Pride. It shows the fight for self-awareness and self-acceptance, which everybody has to go through at some point in their lives. It is also a self-portrait."
 Lihua Lei, Phantom Pain

 Leon Lim, Leon Lim's Silent Story
I visited this exhibition yesterday. Some works are inspiring such as Fight by Ju Gosling and Phantom Pain by Lihua Lei.
I should contact with VSA arts who organized and curated this. I'm thinking to make an art educational material for students with disabilities emphasis in media art. Anyway, what is the media art? I'm not sure what it is.

Blind Light, Antony Gormley Sean Kelly gallery, Chelsea, NY
I'm a big fan of Antony Gormley since I saw his work at Arario Gallery, Korea. He has expressed human being and its emotion using basic geometrical elements. I made a cracked glass, interactive spontaneously tool, with a great influence of his works.
 inside of the glass room. filled room with water steam. couldn't see other people far than a half meter.

 Gormley used tiny water drops of steam as a basic geometrical element along his previous works. Through this medium, we can see people and ourselves as a foggy and vague figure in curious as well as fearful moments.
 just wow.

YOU, Urs Fischer.
Gavin Brown's Enterprise gallery
Urs Fischer is one of my favorite artist. A few years ago he broke a temporary wall in a museum, and he dug floor up now.

I visited American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) on Saturday morning as a field trip of Sensor Workshop class. We went on a tour to the new Hall of Human Origin exhibit and to AMNH's shop where they are making the objects for displaying such as bear, ostrich, gorilla and shark. (I don't know the exact names of them, but it looked like that.)
There were several tactile exhibits, and I took some memos about what is a problem and how we can improve these things to make visitors use and understand better.

(MEET RELATIVES)
- Too much info: It shows too much at once. How about make depths of info in the page?
- Obivious design: It is hard to figure out where are buttons to proceed.
- Deeper layers: It will be better if it gives us more information.

(THE TREE OF LIFE)
- Same problem with the above example,
- Poor navigation: we need go back to the first page or the previous page or more.
- Unclear diagram: the left circle of top-right corner seems the path of the creature's evolution, but no explanation about it. It will be better if the simple animation is added.
(DISCOVERY FOSSIL DETECTIVES) - no pictures.
- Right one was broken. Should be checked everyday or make robust.

(early TOOLS)
- Simple animations of how tools are made will be helpful.
- It's hard to make a connection between skulls and tools. Using different color schemes will be helpful.

- The words about time periods are hard to read.
- It's hard to make a connection between this picture and the displays below.
- Simple interaction by buttons and LEDs will be helpful.
We moved to artist's shop.

A devil fish (or ray) is taking some rest from exhibition and they are making a replica.

Real bones are used to make exhibits. (bear)

The real pictures of various motions are used.

(giant primitive man? gorilla?)


Ostrich which lived in Madagascar until human arrived there.

Very large exhibit.

They made a miniature, and also refers the real pictures of it.

My favorite one in the shop.
Humor sense of them.
Here is the photo set where you can see larger pictures:

Here are some of list where I visited last three months especially in Chelsea. There are over than 200 galleries so it's hard to find out good galleries. I usually use this website before going Chelsea, however I hope this list help someone to decide where to go because good galleries usually exhibit good one next time again.

My home is located a same block with Center for Architecture in which I sometimes hang out. On January 16th, the first day of this semester, I visited the center again.

©Jason Bruges Studio
Visual Echo, an interactive light installation by Jason Bruges Studio was somehow impressive. They didn't use a tough technology but showed possibilities of applying the interactive light installation to architecture or interior/exterior design.
Going Public, city snapshots and case studies, and a project showcase of the New York Times Building were main exhibition at this moment. Although I couldn't understand or even read at all, there were many sketches, blueprints, models and photos which explains the architectures. The best building to me is the Family Intake Center, Bronx, New York by Polshek Partnership Architects. They utilizes limited space well and exterior which seems a combination of glasses and bricks is beautiful.
According to the schedule I got there, next exhibitions already started last week will end in early March so that I will go there someday in February another time. |

I've been to bitforms gallery at Chelsea to see U-Ram Choe's active sculptures. Since I'm familiar with his works, it was not so impressive at all, candidly.


Well done works, but that's all. Anyway, you can see videos at website of the bitforms gallery.
I could see a artwork of Kwang-Young Chun at Kim Foster Galllery in the same building.

This style of Chun was also familiar to me, however his works are not with my taste. |

I've been to the PS1 Art Center with Seokhwan from Buffalo. Sky was clear and high. Air was clean and cool.
There were two steep ladders to the ceiling with a hole in a room. Seokhwan went up first but he said nothing. I shouted at him not coming down. I could see him in a glacier.

He, taken by me.

Way to the Dia:Beacon. There was a $25 special package including a round trip train fare and an admission fee. You can buy it in the Grand Central Terminal.

Great scenery.

The river adjacent to the Beacon station over flooded.

On Kawara's works were very impressive. He started on January 4, 1966 and ended on July 16, 2000. He also made checking calender of his project. However, there was no work on October 6, 1980.
Donald Judd's Untitled(slantpiece) was interesting piece. Although you may think it's no more than a plate of wood, it's not a simple plate if you get closer. I could see similar effect in several buildings in Manhattan.
In addition, a napkin in the cafeteria showed the list of Louise Lawler, "Birdcalls, 1972/1981". All of the small things in this gallery were connected to the art.
I really recommend the Dia:Beacon. It could be a great date course in Fall season. |

I've been to the MoMA last Friday. I usually go there at Friday 6pm since it's free after 4pm on Friday.


Untitled 1993, Nam June Paik. Automated play. He was an American, I didn't know that.

Prison Window, 1992, Robert Gober. I was playing as an inmate in the prison cell.

MoMA sculpture garden. It was the first time to go out to there. If I have a girl friend, I will go there with her on Friday evening.
