matthew barney and st. patrick's day
attempted to see matthew barney exhibit at the guggenheim today, forgetting that it's st. patrick's day and therefore, everything will go wrong. throngs of green chickenheads made the 6 train, the walk from lexington to 5th, and 5th avenue itself all crappy, then (after i bought my ticket) i found out that the theater was full and no, i couldn't stand. tried to walk to the met, but the streets were barricaded for the parade, and then i remembered that the met's freaking eurotrash hours means that it's closed on monday. the weather finally decided to be 70 degrees, and i got sweaty (i.e., cranky).
next time.
i started writing this:
why can't there be a decent site about art and artists? you google nan goldin and get things that use the phrase "homosexual underground" and still have the background-patterned left column that means it was last updated in 1997.
but bumped into this, which i looked at years ago and forgot about:
artandculture.com. do searches and remember when you used to click on links and get lost in the web.
