Wolfgang Tillman with Bruce and then with Claudia Day 11 & 12

 Bruce really wanted to go to see this Wolfgang Tillman show at MoMA and of course I was up for it. Our first attempt to see the exhibition was a total fail. Somehow we just circled one small corner of the show and then we left, heading for the escalator.

Luckily, someone got on the ball at that point... someone besides me I mean. It occurred to Bruce that there must be more to the show than what we had just seen, given all the hoopla. So we went back in and, like a revelation, discovered the 90% of the exhibition that we had completely missed.

I could not have loved the show more. 

This Wolfgang Tillman exhibit is amazing. The exhibit itself is part of the exhibit, which I'm not sure I've seen before. Wolfgang and his team selected exactly the images and the sizes of the images and the placement of the images so that the whole thing functions on a micro-level (ie each individual work) but also at a macro level (ie you can step back and just take in the whole thing.) 

Every time you turn a corner, you get a different perspective in a different color or on a different kind of theme. There's points made in what is hung where and in what size.

Today I'm going back with Claudia. Good news for her is that I won't inadvertently barrel out of there with the first 8 minutes. And if she tries, I'll be all like, oh silly, there's a whole back part in here.
