MOMA 2014

5-20-2014

With Kirsten to see Lygia Clark.
I had found a free entry to MOMA in my cache IN THE MEADOW. What a treasure.

There were also the Impressionists




 This is a de Kooning - Kirsten's favorite

We also created something, but I am just not good at it.

first week of Nov.

Exciting things happened this week

 Thursday met with Jay and Kirsten at their ap, it was his birthday, then had lunch, with a bottle of wine, at an Afghan rest around the corner. Rice with orange peel, delicious.
then went with Kirsten see a Magritte exhibit.

On Friday, Nov. 8th, Stuart and I went to see a Chamber Opera called THE SATIN CLOAK

"The Satin Cloak" is a re-telling, by Martin Halpern, of a parable that centers around four characters: the humble cobbler Tameem; his devoted wife Akara; his brilliant friend Aruhm, and a Messenger who comes to announce that the Sovereign of the land has appointed Tameem governor of his province. Though perplexed by this, Tameem, with Akara's constant aid, manages to govern with great virtue for seven years, though always nagged by doubts about the source of his appointment. Meanwhile, Aruhm has gone on a quest to discover that source. After many ordeals he finally returns, and what he reveals before dying forces Tameem to re-define, for himself and his subjects, the true meaning of virtue in a world where nothing is certain.

afterwards we went to a Vietnamese restaurant called Peking Roast Duck on 858 8th Ave, where the dumplings were no good but my curry delicious.

And on Sunday, Nov. 10th I went to a place called Symphony Space and saw Murakami Music: Stories of Loss and Nostalgia. Readings of excerpts of some of his books, accompanied mainly by piano but there was also a bass and a saxophone. Totally cool.

Just lovely.
