the Guggenheim Museum’s new Wright Restaurant, which opens to the public tomorrow
(pic via nyt)

Conceived as a sculpture that can be expanded or contracted to fit any designated space, this architectural piece comprises a sequence of horizontal planks of powder-coated aluminum mounted to the walls and ceiling. A similar transparent screen marks the entrance to site. The resulting room-size installation creates a modular skin on the interior’s surface, its parallel beams creating a sense of a series of horizons. [widn]

LIBRA SEP 23 — OCT 22
It was so thoughtful of you to buy me that kimchi fridge last Christmas—you knew what a hard time I was having with the dogs digging it up. People who complain about gifts reducing relationships to transactions have a point. But here is another point, Libra: It is really, really hard to find a place in Fort Greene Park to bury kimchi.

“Take note of the sounds as well, as you enter the show’s main greenhouse-gallery. The exclamations of amazement uttered by fellow immigrants — young and old — are accompanied by the steady whir of 14 electric trains and streetcars that run in loops around the city’s fancifully scrambled geography.”
