Today Jared and I somehow crawled out of sleep at 9:15 and jumped on the L to meet Lauren at the Metropolitan Art Museum. Grabbing 60 cent coffee and a buttered bagel each, we nimbly made it to Union Square from Bedford on the L, then switched to the Green 4-5-6 up to 74th or something like that. Lauren was a few minutes late at 10:10, but we quickly checked our coats and paid the 10 cents each to get in. We looked at some drawings by Pieter Bruegel that interested Jared and Lauren, and there was some serious fucked up things going on in the 16th-century Flemsih dude's drawings, people. Lots of but humor and Dali/Bosch/'Til-It-Sleeps Metallica Music video style strangeness: batlike creatures with disgusting underbites eating their own arms.
We continued on to the Impressionists' area, to see Jared's favorite painting plus some new Van Gogh's the museum had recently aquired. Bill Viola had an interesting video installation. There was a painting of a cow and some scientists in which the cow is being shown a painting of some other cows as the scientists gauge its reaction. It was a painting I remembered having seen in May.
We ate a diner that was actually decent, then waited on Lauren to get her ID museum renewed so we could get in the Whitney for free. We 3 taked of who we knew and what they were doing, and what we were doing. Once at the Whitney we saw an exhibit on The Art of the Projected Image, featureing a bunch of reproductions of film & video installations from the 1970s and 80s. One room had a double-screen Warhol movie, a color one, called "Lupe", in which Edie Sedgwick plays a young Hollywood siren who plans an elaborately elegant death by overdose, but her head winds up in the toilet.
We found out it was 4:20 and found a green to the L, where Lauren said goodbye to us at the Bedford. We picked up cheap Chinese takeout and headed home, where we ate quickly and fell asleep. I woke at 11, went down the ladder and found Jared and Lenny hanging out, talking. Lenny had brought some beers. Really wasn't in the mood for one so I drank half, really am worrying it;ll take longer than we think to load this truck up. GOD, do I want to get out of town at a decent hour tomorrow. I would love to be in Atlanta by afternoon Thursday. That way we have time to connect with Matt Stanton and to see a show at Dad's Garage . I hope Jared can be convinced to quit by 3 tonight even if we aren't finished, and just load the truck tomorrow morning & be out by 10 or 11. Can't wait to be back in Orlando. Have that vaguely sad feeling whenever I leave New York, of something unfinished that I'm leaving behind. But I know after a few hours on the road that feeling will go, and I am looking forward to that time passing.
Love to Jocelyn, and dreamy thoughts.
