….it was pretty weird to hear hundreds of people singing along to Lil Jon’s “Get Low” (also, why was that playing) in the presence of the Gutenberg Bible and Thomas Jefferson’s personal library and all.

MoMA's "Artist's Choice" Series: Vik Muniz →
Vik Muniz is the latest artist to present a show in the Museum of Modern Art’s “Artist’s Choice” series. The idea is simple—a visiting curator gets to go wild, picking and choosing from one of the world’s great art collections—and Muniz’s show, called “Rebus,” tries to reflect his process of discovery. “We started with one piece, then searched the entire collection to find the next one, and so...

My grandparents’ 65th wedding anniversary would have been this past Wednesday, February 15th. Unfortunately, however, my grandmother passed away in October after a decade of struggling with Alzheimers’.

The Artist; 2011, dir. by Michel Hazanavicius
starring Jean DuJardin and Bérénice Bejo
[spoiler alert]
Saw this one last night! It and “Midnight in Paris” are the only Best Picture Oscar noms I’ve seen this year. I am ambivalent about (or maybe just disappointed by) the nominee selections, as, at least in these two, I found too many glaring snags in the fabric of the stories.
But first off, I thought Bérénice Bejo was an...
