MOCA

Overheard at the MOCA bookstore:

“What is Maus?”

“Oh, it’s one of those cartoon books about the holocaust. It’s for kids.”

The MOCA building has existed as a shoe factory, a cloth printing factory, and an electric company prior to housing the modern art galleries. They left the interior deliciously raw…

I took a picture of this for no other reason than to defend my toe shoe obsession in an ongoing argument with a particular friend in Virginia whose initials are CW and answers by the name of Cristian. I proclaim that toe shoes are now validated by living in an art museum. It’s a weak argument, but I stand by my toe shoes. Or, I guess I stand in my toe shoes. Or something.

The Sol Lewitt exhibit will be on for the next 25 years, and it might just take that long for any normal human being to fully process. Not recommended for anyone prone to vertigo. It’s the best art I’ve fed my brain in ages…

In order to balance out all the culture and education we absorbed, we stopped at the Hot Dog Ranch on the way home and consumed a lot of deep fat fried foods, including the newly discovered “Mac & Cheese Nugget”. It is what it says it is, and it’s fantastic.
