Art is fun!




For the past week, day and night, Papa H has been suspended about fifty feet up in the air sewing for the artist Ernesto Neto. The fruits of his hard work are now on view at the the Armory in a show entitled anthropodino. Uta and I accompanied Pop to the opening and I can safely say that never before and most likely never again has an opening been such fun. It is a truly beautiful installation, and especially inviting to kids: with aromatic spices suspended like udders from soaring heights above, dinosaur bone igloos to explore, and a pool of ice blue balls to plunge chin deep in. Uta laughed and played for three hours straight until his literal collapse. He is still hung over from all the excitement.
