Last Thursday, w
e were a little surprised to walk away from Reina Sofia (1) with two unimpressed kids. We were all blown away by Guernica. And some of the multimedia pieces interested them. But our conversations about modern art (and we were just in MOMA last summer!) fell on deaf ears. One floor-to-ceiling video of the Statue of Liberty taken from a helicopter on a sunny day was spectacular. Truly moving, not out of patriotism per se, but it was such a close-up, capturing her hair bun and the muscles in the back of her arm. It's part of a Mixed Manhattan temporary exhibit so if it ever travels, I'd highly recommend it. The next two photos here are of Caixa Forum, another museum we won't be visiting. But it's an impressive space with an amazing exterior wall of plants. Finally, a little food sculpture, this time a vegetarian's artwork at Biotika. Ed and I loved it but the kids were less than enticed. Maybe they were "off" after all that day.
