recently my friends and i visited the museum of modern art. i've always thought that having the option to kill some time on a monday at one of the world's greatest museums is one of many benefits to living in new york city. anyway, we happened to be there on the opening day of one of their exhibits, Measuring the Universe by Roman Ondak. It is the fourth part of the Performance Exhibition Series that is currently running. I was immediately intrigued - at first it just seemed like an big empty white room. someone quickly walked up to us and asked us if we wanted to be measured. strange question when you're not expecting it. it was then explained to us that each person coming into the room would be measured with their height, name, and date written in black marker on the bare white wall. the opportunity to have my name written on the wall of the MoMA?! obviously, i was eager to participate. i was the first to go so unfortunately they split us up by accident...usually i guess they try to keep groups together? since we were the first of many to be involved, i'm really looking forward to seeing it in a couple days/weeks/months once the walls are more populated. It's open until September 14th so if you're in the area you should definitely check it out.

these are some of our pictures followed by what it will look like in the future (taken from the MoMA website)
