Yesterday, I went to MoMA to see the Tim Burton exhibit that's currently showing. It's a really cool and pretty interactive experience, although it was annoyingly crowded, which was expected. There was a lot of really cool stuff, ranging from Burton's childhood journals to sketchbooks to costumes and models from his films. It really is a magical experience and insane to be able to see how much really goes on in that man's head. If you haven't seen it, I strongly urge you go. It's a little pricey unless you're a member, but definitely worth it.
Anyway, after the Burton exhibit, I stopped into the Edward Steichen gallery at MoMa and was really impressed. The work was so widely ranged and really inspiring. They have a lot of early work, from Nadar, Negre, etc. which was really fascinating to see in person, especially after learning about the artists so much in Lenticular Vision. There was a ton of work, mostly older stuff, but there was some newer work and some really cool photo/mixed media pieces.
I'm a really big fan of museums, especially when I get the opportunity to wander around by myself to take notes and think about what it takes to get to that point. This visit was my first to Moma, but definitely won't be the last. There's a Henri Cartier Bresson exhibit opening this spring, which I am most definitely going to check out. Field trip maybe? ;)
