james nares + thurston moore – street

james-nars-street-thurston-moore-met

so after a post last week, i paid a visit to paul kasmin gallery over the weekend and heard about another piece of his on view at the met. it is an hour of slow movement; shooting of people living their life in new york, with music by sonic youth’s thurston moore. reminds me of jarmusch’s dead man mixed with wes anderson’s movies for some reason. by pp.

Museum

museum is possibly the tiniest museum in the world, housed in a former freight elevator and able to only fit three people inside at a time. it boasts an assemblage of assorted collections from around the world, made of the weirdest and random things you could think of.

some personal favorites include : the shoe thrown at george w. bush at the minister’s palace in baghdad in 2008, toothpaste tubs from around the world, fake vomit collection, children’s disney bullet proof backpacks, al goldstein’s personal ephemera, fake dolla’billa,  etc. …

i have been to museum three times since season two has opened, and every visit leaves me hanging there for at least two hours… so you know what to do this weekend! by lil

tea time

podunk in east village is a great tea place to spend sundays with a book. no cell phones, no laptops, just like grandma’s house (in a good way) 231 east 5th street new york. by ak
