Ah, Donald Judd. Who knew there could be such beauty in precision, in boxes upon boxes? But there is. Judd's work moves me in strange ways.
Go minimalism!

Hmmmm.... You know, my favorite classes in college were my art history classes. I loved it and ever since have enjoyed looking at art and analizing it. But I could never get the "new" stuff.
I'm looking for some meaning that's not there I suppose. I think I'm looking at it the wrong way. I just don't get it.
But I think this would made an awesome cd rack :-D
Last summer I went to MASS MOCA in the Berkshires. I didn't really pay attention to the CA part of it, having been spoiled by MOMA and thinking modern, modern, modern...Wow, was it contemporary. I did see some very cool stuff after I got over my disappointment in not seeing Modern art. Also some really weird stuff, like a giant frog ribbeting. And this cool/strange exhibit:
EDW, thanks for the link. Guo-Qiang's Transparent Monument is, well, spacy. I'm more a fan of MA than CA but there are some contemporaries who knock me out: Basquiat, definitely; Rauschenberg, often; Judd in weird ways.
I am a bookish, neurotic type. Clinically anxious, musically inclined. I love jazz and sport and scotch and modern art and satellite radio and the people close to me (more than those other things). I have multiple versions of the same shirt and would sell my soul (well, figuratively) for a Karman Ghia. Sushi, a hoppy IPA, and an old Woody Allen movie in the DVD player or Thelonious Monk on the stereo and I'm in my happy place.
