museum visit

 greg and i walked to the whitney this afternoon. he wanted to see the david wojnarowicz exhibit, and i the new indigenous space, modern architecture exhibit.

 the woman above is carrying two cakes and the box lid on the right kept blowing open. i think she was a little concerned one might topple.

 i think this family was part of the same group. it looked like preparations for a birthday party. the little girl kept asking "what is it" indicating the bag her mother was holding, and her father kept yelling, "balls." greg found it a little comical.

 at the whitney . . 

 one of thousands of conical grain silos built in the 1960's in mexico through a program that went defunct, much to the farmers' dismay. an architect had designed it using materials the farmers could use themselves for building. photograph by livia corona benjamin.

 enea or cattail woven on wooden scaffold by artist jorge gonzález, based on the art and culture of the taino.

 huaca, by william cordova, based on a temple built by the pre-incan ichma in lima, peru. in 2001 huaca huantille was named a national heritage site, but when the artist was growing up in the area, the temple was home to dispossessed families who had erected scaffold-like shelters.

 heading home . . i liked how this woman was holding her dog . . 

i made kohlrabi with bacon, garlic and scallions for dinner. the kohlrabi came in our vegetable box this past thursday. i peeled the bulbs and also used its greens.
