the moma surpassed my expectations. four stories of contemporary and modern art. the top floor showcased a special retrospective exhibition of jeff wall's work. seeing his work in person was a treat. most of the photography is displayed in giant light boxes. the size, light illumination from the boxes and the content, gives his work a surrealistic feel. although it seemed like some of his work could be pulled from every day life, it still possesed a dream-like quality.
i saw bill viola, andy warhol, jeff koonz' "basketballs half sub-merged in tank"! a fun super contemporary comic absraction exhibition, and countless other names that i wrote down.
after the moma i walked 20 city blocks to the whitney. the whitney was over-shadowed by my moma experience. but i saw some things i liked. including paul pheifer.
