art

while i was in new york city, i went to the museum of modern art, mainly to see the sculptural exhibition of richard serra. according to my cousin cari-esta, it was a once in a lifetime experience and i truly enjoyed it. his work is challenging and epic. my dad and i entered the museum first because of good planning on his part and so we were able to get some pictures of me in the work that would have been impossible at any other point while there.



i was also privileged enough to see the first american exhibition by dan perjovschi, a romanian artist who in completely inspired by the current state of the media and its representation of current events. he creates grafitti inspired, site-specific drawings with a "big fat black marker" that are in a way comic, but far more intelligent and thought provoking than most comics could dream of. he is constantly offering what appears at first glance to be simply funny drawing but when reviewed are quite incisive to the current social state of the world and intelligent. i greatly enjoyed the exhibition and hope to see him gain some exposure in the states.
