a few days ago i went to the museum of contemporary art to see thier latest show. there were some interesting installations and photography exhibits. this was the first time i'd been to the museum since they had remodelled. now all their lockers have names that are art related. i stored my bag in locker zero, though the actual number was 05.

one of my favourite things at the show was a series of photographs by the mainland chinese artist cang xin(a few samples are pictured above). several of the other exhibits were rather explicit. the funny thing is the tags warning parents about such things were very small. so small in fact it'd be easy to not even be aware such things were on exhibit until it was too late.

according to this article, this summer the museum will be hosting a show devoted to comics and anime and will feature the art of yoshitomo nara(!). i know where i'm going to be spendnig a lot of time this summer...
