World Flags by grade

[brennser]

ha ha - we were at the Guggenheim in Bilbao this year and while the building is amazing the collection of (mostly) modern art didn't impress me
 
 One 'priceless piece of art' consisted of a massive piece of cardboard stuck to the wall - as I was looking at it an old man came up and touched it - the docent/security guard nearly shit their pants

I have, the best item for me was the Michael Wesely: Open Shutter at The Museum of Modern Art, i dont think it is there anymore http://www.moma.org/exhibitions/2004/index.html
 
 but I am not the art afficianado that others may be here, a lot of the artists are the same that are shown here, so I didnt get a lot more out of going to MOMA, and it is expensive

We have. The Lee Friedlander exhibit was most excellent. I think it may be gone by now.

 Mankie...what's up with that sheep?  It must be rather lonely there.

That sheep is so adorable!  Yay!  
 
 If only the Falklands weren't so far away/difficult to get to, I'd love to visit the sheep!

didn't check out any special exhibits, but the new building itself is worth the price of admission ... one of the coolest museum spaces i've ever seen
 
 it's been a few years since i've been to MOMA so i had forgotten what they had in their collection ... pretty decent stuff, but not really revelatory, i liked musee d'orsay much better ... the paintings / sculptures II floor (with the more modern stuff) didn't really grab me, too many straight lines and monochrome canvases
 
 great collection of photographs though, the depression-era alabama sharecroppers series was fantastic
 
 by the way, if you're looking for a fun indie rock scene in manhattan, go to the orchard bar on orchard st (and delancey? can't remember, lower east side) on fridays for "stolen transmission" ... i've been the last couple of times i've been to the city and had a great time
