Yesterday in the San Francisco Bay Area

I went to the SFMOMA on the 31st. I took the elevator to the top and walked down. First I saw Olafur Eliasson then Jeff Wall and thirdly Joseph Cornell. Cornell was really good, Jeff Wall was good, and Eliasson was good, but maybe too much at once. And because of that, maybe I did actually like it. I was pretty much done after that, but I went on. Also at the museum was “Pretty Much Every Film and Video Work from About 1992 Until Now” by Douglas Gordon, a video installation consisting of said videos presented on individual televisions in one room and a timeline for the videos in the other room. There was a very uninteresting installation of work by Lucy McKenzie’s as well. I only mention her exhibition because it is part of the New Work series, which is generally pretty good.

An unused gas station in Berkeley, well I think it has been repurposed, but they left the old prices up. It was somewhere on Ashby.
