Ran around Chelsea this morning with Mary and Jonathan checking out galleries. The new Nan Goldin show is highly recommended, especially the landscapes. And it made me want a Leica so bad. Above is from one of the galleries on 26th street. Nothing spectacular, except for this one place that had a warehouse-sized room filled with this psychedellic floral wallpaper and lots of hand lettered print on the wall that told the story of a caveman who cheats on his wife and gets caught. I found it really emotional, even though the caveman looked a lot like Homer Simpson.
The most beautiful space in Brooklyn.
One day I want to make a feature film set entirely in this office on Vanderbilt Avenue. I should take more pictures in the meantime, because it’s obviously going to be destroyed in the next couple of years. And we’ll be ordering Vente Tazo Frappucinos on this hallowed ground. It’s like my Barney Miller dream. I wish I worked here. I really lucked out that I walked past it tonight and all the lights were on and no one was inside so I could take as many pictures as I wanted.
I spent a while on the internet yesterday reading about new york graffiti, which doesn’t really interest me, but the stickers and posters I see around town are great. Seeing these methodically recorded images really got me fired up (i.e. here’s another way to collect things that incorporate my everyday life: it’s perfect!). This was my favorite.
I used to see this sign every morning on my way to work. It’s on 7th Avenue and 22nd street. What was it? The “loves neck face” was new and I later saw it all over the Lower East Side as I walked around.
