art and lab

not taking classes is both a good and a bad thing. its good because i have no homework. its bad because i don't have as many excuses to go outside or get up and walk around throughout the day. the university sends an email out every couple of days about all of the events happening on campus, and yesterday i received one that said there was a talk at the blanton art museum, which is located on campus, about a particular piece of art. having never seen the inside of the museum, i decided that attending the talk would be a good excuse to peak inside.

the talk was on a piece called Missao/Misses [How to Build a Cathedral] by the brazilian artist cildo meireles. if you ever have the opportunity to see it, do...and then let me know what you think. i thought it was pretty cool. the museum in general was pretty cool and i'd like to go back and spend a bit more time there, particularly after they finish the new installation in the front entry way...you feel like you're walking into the ocean!
