ashleeprewitt asked: I went to the MoMA. I might go to the met today but I don't really have the money. Brooklyn zine fest is today so I think I'm going to that. I wish I had time to look at more art the MoMA made me so mad. So many people and they were doing this poetry thing in the gallery that had the best works so I really couldn't look at anything.

Well the Met is pay what you wish, so it doesn’t really cost anything. MOMA is better when you go with someone who is a member, since they can get you in for $5 and it’s way better on a weekday than weekend. Brooklyn zine fest looks fun - where are you staying?

cruiseorbecruised: I saw this book for the first time today and obviously honored to be included!! Spanning 125 years, Art and Queer Culture is the first major historical survey to consider the ways in which the codes and cultures of homosexuality have provided a creative resource for visual artists. Attempts to trouble the conventions of gender and sexuality, to highlight the performative aspects of identity and to oppose the tyranny of the normal are all woven into the historical fabric of homosexuality and its representation. From Oscar Wilde to Ryan Trecartin, from the molly houses of eighteenth-century London to the Harlem drag balls of the 1920s, the flamboyant refusal of social and sexual norms has fuelled the creation of queer art and life throughout the modern period. The inclusion of the word ‘queer’ in the title is a considered choice. No single word can accommodate the sheer expanse of cultural practices that oppose normative heterosexuality. In its shifting connotation from everyday parlance to phobic epithet to defiant self-identification, ‘queer’ offers more generous rewards than any simple inventory of sexual practices or erotic object choices. Said this on facebook earlier, but I totally want this.

Beach Portraits by Rineke Dijkstra

I’ve seen these a billion times since undergrad (I graduated in 2005, so let’s say I probably saw these for the first time about 10 years ago) and they never get old.  They’re just so simple and awkward and beautiful, and I love how the subjects gestures reveal so much about they feel about being in front of the camera/themselves.  So gorgeous, even if I’ve seen them like 80 billion times.
