First, we stowed Sandy Frank away on the Fine Arts bus instead of the Basics bus where she belonged. At first, we figured it wasn't a big deal - we were all going to the same place - but when one of the Basics professors came onto our bus looking for "one of his students," we got a little nervous. There was no turning back now, though, and as the professor walked right by us not even noticing Sandy Frank, we sighed a relieved sigh and prepared for our journey.
After a couple of hours on the bus watching Harry Potter, commenting on it loudly and then deciding that we should start a radio show, Sandy Frank and the rest of us made it to the Met. It was about 10 a.m.
I was shortly thereafter accosted by several subsequent security guards for attempting to enter the museum with a turkey hoagie in my backpack and then trying to eat it outside on the steps. Who knew hoagies were such a threat - even in the coat check!
We grabbed some slices at this little (but muchos expensive) pizza joint nearby, met up with our friend Lauren, then headed down to Chelsea. Here are some highlights:
- Walked by the filming of a Law & Order episode. (We don't know if it was SVU.)
- Ernesto Neto's nylon stocking environments
- Berlinde de Bruyckere's disturbing and beautiful wax bodies
- Siebren Versteig's interactive and thoughtful digital projects
- NOT Sophie Calle's self-indulgent abuses of very thoughtful, universal imagery
