San Diego

Yesterday, I went to San Diego on the penultimate day of a friend’s (Peter Simensky) exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD). It was nice to see the project installed in a museum. The piece below is a collage of various currencies from countries with unstable economies reordered into what he calls “Neutral Capital.”

Another show closing today at the museum is Robert Therrien’s chairs and tables. I had helped out in his studio (mostly standing around and taking pictures) with an earlier version of the folding table and chairs (pictured below). I think it is safe to say that most people would like to climb on them and sit there in their largeness. Although as far as I know, no one has. The person who collects the fees at the parking garage near the museum was excited about “the large furniture” as well.

On my return to Los Angeles, it began to rain along I-5. This picture was taken on Olympic Blvd. in East LA.
