The Mutter Museum, nestled inside a perfectly noble looking old academic building, is a gloriously jumbled collection of medical specimens exhibiting the dizzying number of horrible things that can go wrong with the human body...
Being in the art field, I wouldn't normally think of Denver as a leading art center.
But thanks to their new museum, they've secured themselves on the art world map...
Some of my life goals are a little unconventional. Mastering the accordion, traveling to every continent before I'm 30, going to Wimbledon (I've accepted that it will only be as a spectator at this point)— these are the things that fill my dreams. Last month, I got to check off one of the seemingly silly items on the list: going to the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. Finally, I'd get to root for Team Bernese Mountain Dog in person, at the Super Bowl of dog shows no less. Plus, it meant a trip to New York City. What more could a canine-crazy gal ask for?..
We were in the greater Baltimore area to visit the American Dime Museum, an example of and homage to the old dime museums and sideshow displays that were a staple of traveling carnivals and circuses during the late 19th and early 20th century.
For a mere dime, dupes and rubes could file through a museum of the strange and curious and marvel at everything from a two-headed calf to a mermaid from Fiji...
About 32 miles from Denver sits a tiny hippy oasis
called Indian Springs Resort. Mud baths! Mineral
Springs! "Private jacuzzis with beautiful mountain
view!" This sounded like the makings of a relaxing
vacation!
When we arrived at Indian Springs, my first impression
was "this is it?"...
The museum experience in New York is often overshadowed by
the hard-hitters: The Metropolitan Museum of Art,
The Guggenheim, The Museum of Modern Art and the Natural
History Museum. A step below these museums are many other
worthwhile institutions, although not as "famous." The Museum
of Art and Design, across from MoMA on 53rd Street has an
incredible collection of contemporary objects, innovative
furniture, package design, ceramics and other design elements...
In a brutal dance of acrobatics and fierce headlocks, the wrestlers tumbled and flipped each other across the ring, stopping now and then to turn to the cheering audience and flex their muscles. They ranged in age and size from youthful bodybuilders to small but quick, middle-aged firecrackers, and all wore shiny face masks and colorful spandex pants that sparkled under the outdoor lights. The commentator kept up with all the action, dramatically rattling off the moves in Spanish over blaring loudspeakers. The referee bounced around the men in the ring, fielding insults from hecklers in the audience...
This is Lucha Libre, or Mexican wrestling – a mixture of sport, drama, comedy and sheer showmanship...
I've always loved the Museum of Modern Art. Even during its brief hiatus in
[Queens]
(which is now PS 1 Contemporary Art Center). The powers that be behind MoMA have a way of presenting work in an exciting and original manner, and I mean, how many ways can you really present art in a museum context? And of course, I'm impressed again with MoMA's latest project by
Doug Aitken
