MoMA

went to the MoMA with sinead and sabina to swim in the abundance of work by Tim Burton (and the lurid beauty of monsters) and was completely taken away by the creative GENIUS of his prolific work.  runs until the end of april and should not be missed! 

also saw the first part of Jenny Holzer's Truisms (1978-87).  

>> Jenny Holzer has done major installations all over the world, like her Projections project. 

Truisms is a large collection of short statements.  A few notable phrases from the piece seen yesterday -definitely worthy of some lingering attention:

a sincere effort is all you can ask for

a strong sense of duty imprisons you 

alienation produces eccentrics or revolutionaries 

all things are delicately interconnected 

any surplus is immoral 

artificial desires are despoiling the earth 

being judgemental is a sign of life 

believing in rebirth is the same as admitting defeat 

disgust is the appropriate response to most situations 

dreaming while awake is a frightening contradiction 

every achievement requires a sacrifice 

everyones work is equally important 

extreme self consciousness leads to perversion 

giving free reign to your emotions is an honest way to live 

government is a burden on the people 

grass roots agitation is the only hope

jean michal-basquiat's album artwork collaboration with rammellzee and k-rob, Beat-Bop is also definitely worth checking out.
