views of manhattan from the sky deck
Kevin and Yifan were in town from Boston so we went to the Chris Burden show at the New Museum. This was my first time seeing a retrospective in this space but I thought Chris Burden did a great job filling the 4 or 5 floor spaces with a balanced combination of installation, video, and documentation (including his BEAM DROP work). I wish I could have taken a photo of his gold bar and matchstick men (yes, literal matchsticks made to look like men) but it was guarded and only viewable one at a time up a narrow set of stairs (gold bars look a lot smaller than you'd think). Definitely recommend checking this show out.
