P.S.1
December 17th, 2007
I use contemporary art like a day spa. In case I’m feeling out of sorts, a visit to Long Island City’s own art haven P.S.1 never fails to rejuvenate — it’s just slightly stranger than you expect, and I always leave in high spirits. This time around, there were endless video loops of cats tearing into rat carcasses, Liz Taylor, Fassbinder’s Berlin Alexanderplatz story boards, a magical room without a roof we had never noticed before, and a polar bear made of feathers. A few more photos - and podcasts!

The magic room w/o the roof is much fun! Ann & I found our way in there on one of our 1st dates. She was familiar w/ it, I was convinced that the “sky” was a painting. I thought the whole thing was a put on! So…she dared me to check. Like a shmuck, I threw a hat up there. Boy did I feel dumb. Then, a moment later, someone who was walking on the roof stuck his head down. “Did someone lose a hat?” Very amusing.
