cumming with color
went to moma with d. today. the workspaces exhibit is a big snore, and i'd be surprised if the pleasantville patrons who it's intended for even found it interesting (look ma, a cell phone! i bet one day people will even use them to work when they're away from their offices!). it slops together present and future furniture and tools for working, but the present things are boring (think more cell phones and palm pilots) and the future things are often designed by people that don't know what it's like to work in an office to begin with (standing-height desks, cubicle farms with gaping holes all over them). andreas gursky's retrospective, on the other hand, makes me wish that i could afford to buy art. his stuff is practically cumming with color, and manages to get great human features and character into huge, sweeping perspectives of land and events.
