Dear Tuesday,
You flew by this week! In fact, I almost missed you entirely. No worries though, I did remember Tumblr Tuesday. =) See you again next week!
Love,
Emily
This week's tumblr post is:
The Guggenheim has a great exhibit going on for a few more weeks entitled: "Haunted". I spent an afternoon there last week walking around the circular floors and taking in the exhibit. It is absolutely worth seeing. I think the Andy Warhol piece was my favorite.
The entire exhibit is unsettling, thought-provoking, inspiring, and sometimes just plain creepy. But in that wonderfully good, important way. It explores the concepts of national tragedy and personal tragedy. The multi-media nature of the exhibit highlights the infinite number of ways that art can convey the unexplainable.
I spent a lot of time thinking about tragedy and how it defines a person or a nation (or how a nation/person works not to be defined by a tragedy). This exhibit has layers upon layers, and I could have definitely spent more than an afternoon sorting through the artwork and the meanings. But if you have only an afternoon free - definitely go check it out and let me know what you think!
