An afternoon at the Met

This afternoon I went to the Met. There are two new exhibits I wanted to see: the August Sandler photographs and the Andy Goldsworthy sculpture on the roof. The former was good, a series of portraits that functioned as an ethnological as well as photographic studies. The Goldsworthy was sublime, constructed of two split wood domes, each housing a perfectly stacked series of stones. It is the first sculpture commissioned specifically for the roof of the Met.

After viewing the exhibits I took a bus downtown, hoping to catch a matinee showing of Fahrenheit 9/11. At the theatre on 11th and 3rd, the film was sold out until midnight. On 19th and Broadway it was sold out until 9pm. Unable to commit to such times (it was only four in the afternoon) I went home. Posted by eku at June 26, 2004 1:28 AM
