Pompidou Center

at first, I was a little skeptical.

modern art? ohh heh heh heh. no thanks.

but then,

I had a change of heart.

Maybe I should go and check it out. 

I can't really turn it down for fear of not being

into modern art, right?

the pool looks incredibly deep but is actually only 1/2" of water, if that.

the same terrace-y view, only of sacre coeur

I super loved it. 

super-hyper loved it.

this video was captivating.
it was the progression shown from cow to beef, only shown in reverse.
I don't think that I ate meet for a while after that.
(okay, at least not that night. not beef, anyway)

eerie. the cubes were different sizes but looked to be the same
size because of the convex, normal and concave mirrors.
only don't ask me which is which.
j'ai aucune idee.

trippin' out!

this was a room that you could go into and kinda play around in.
pictures were taken and fun was had, let me assure you.

have you seen the movie sabrina? Not the one with Audrey Hepburn,
but the one with Harrison Ford?
This fountain is in it.

another terrace

same terrace, close up of sacre coeur

different angle

When I fist saw this painting, I was disgusted.
The flies, the flesh, the lurid colors.
But despite all that, I could not stop looking at it.
I think that is what art is about...
provoking some reaction, no matter if it is rapture or disgust

Is this art?
This work sparked quite a debate when it was first displayed.
If you can't tell, it is a urinal

hummingbirds,
stuffed.
a little sad, actually.

metal work, 3D sculpture

we started at five, and decided to meet up in the foyer at seven. 

we were exhausted by six.

and we had only seen the fifth floor!!

I will update you when I go back 

:)
