Mind and Matter

Gego
Untitled, 1970

MoMA
Mind and Matter

Funnily I wrote on Monday that we will see where my mind and experiences will lead me.
It led me straight to the "Mind and Matter" exhibit at the MoMA. And I swear it was coincidental, my heart actually skipped a beat when I walked right in on Gego. It was like I had asked for it, a continuation of the morning blog. Gego as an afterthought must be an inspiration to a lot of artists dealing with etchings and abstractions (like Tina Jonsbu).

Sphere, 1959

The exhibit centers around 12 international artists chosen for their alternative abstractions work.

I was standing in awe together with another spectator, who said he was a textile collector in Bangkok, while viewing the Louis Bourgois books. She used textiles that she had saved throughout her life for this wonderful project.

Maybe hard to see here but there was three beautiful etched silver metal sheets by:

And yes by the way, the wedding dress has been ordered. Puh:) One more thing to cross off on my list.
Have a wonderful Wednesday. I am packing my boy gang into a heated car up the Hudson River to a cute town called Elizaville for a visit and strawberry picking!

Love Kristin
