i have a problem when people say something's real or not real, or normal or abnormal. the meaning of those words for me is very personal and subjective. Iive always been confused and never had a clear cut understanding of the meaning of those kinds of words.

04.17.10 (posted 04.22.10) - i've been looking forward to this day for weeks. i would finally get to view the tim burton exhibit at the MoMA. last december my hubby and i tried to catch the exhibit one rainy afternoon but it was sold out. we knew that it would only grow in popularity. we decided to bite the bullet then and there and get ourselves memberships to the MoMA so it would guarantee we can go any time we wanted.
checking out the exhibit also gave us an opportunity to resurrect "culture day" -- a little something that my buddies organize to get us to experience the arts and culture of the big apple. sad to say that culture day has been dead for a couple of years... because of... um... careers, personal obligations, and life has pretty much taken over. but today would be different! hopefully, it will be the start of many more culture days for 2010.
after seeing the tim burton exhibit, i have a much deeper appreciation for his work... his art. i could not fathom what goes on his in mind but it has produced some amazing and memorable creations.
not only did we get a chance to see the tim burton exhibit but i also got to "experience" marina abramović's the artist is present. whoooaaa. the ny times featured an article recently about how some patrons reacted to it. apparently, some don't understand the idea about the look but don't touch policy. yikes. i had hoped to also check out henri cartier-bresson's photography but i was starting to feel like a sardine in a can. there were just too many people and i couldn't enjoy the exhibits at my own pace. well, that's for another day.
here are a few pics i took to remember by afternoon at the museum.
