Today was Tuesday, the first Tuesday of the month. This meant free admission at the San Francisco Museum of Art. I went. Of course, I'd been meaning to go for a while, especially as its 75th anniversary Muse campaign series slowly grew on me over the weeks.
I arrived at 5:35pm, and was told that I only had 25 minutes left. Somehow I thought it closed at 8. No matter, it was enough time for me to absorb something interesting, something different from the daily office reports.
For 25 minutes I was very impressed by a piece of work, from an artist in the so called Mission School. A little search on MoMA's site tells me that it's an installation by an artist named Barry McGee, called Untitled. All I can say is that this piece of work is visually impactful, and in its imposing physical installation, true emotions can be felt. In fact, I loved it. (I was surprised to find out that this was made in 1996. Somehow, the pictures of the Al Qaeda baseball jersey immediately gave me the impression that this was a post-911 production)
Anyway, pictures below, from my little 25 minute romp at the MoMA.
