SFMoMA

I drove into the city (thank you very much) with Trish to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. It was incredible. We could have spent hours in the gallery shop alone! Sam had the iPod audio tour the whole time so he was happy, and Olafur Eliasson (the fabulous Icelandic installation artist who was at the NGV earlier this year with his white Lego interactive installation 'The cubic structural evolution project 2004' on loan from the QAG) had the whole top floor, part of which was a kaleidoscopic glass walkway across the roof. Wow, a real sensory experience. There was a room set up as his studio - reminded me of a mixture between Bronwyn Oliver's hand woven copper maquettes and Trinh Vu's new paper sculptures. Then through to a room of photographs Sue Lovegrove would have loved, a misty rainbow waterfall room, and then freezer packed with a frozen ice vehicle, where we all had to wrap ourselves in supplied blankets like a Joseph Beuyes walking sculpture! Fantastic. All that and then scooted back across the Golden Gate Bridge to collect Jack at 2pm! Phew!!
