MOMA – Dali: Painting and Film (through Sep 15, 08)

MOMA – Exibition though Sep 15, 2008.

11 West 53rd Street, New York, NY 10019, Sixth Floor

I absolutely loved this exhibition. This particular floor demonstrates works related to the films and more of Salvador Dali (1904 – 1089) of various periods (30th, 40th primarily).

Entering into the world of Dali you loose and submerge yourself into the colorful fantasy of a mad man. We saw a cartoon Destino that was done based on Dalis’ drawings along with Walt Disney and it is mesmerizing. It takes you in as a whole and then changes you into something else. As you progress from room to room from painting to painting you sink deeper into the world of a man who saw everything differently, perhaps a tad more colorful, perhaps a tad more paranoid, but nonetheless completely and utterly beautiful and amazing.

If you have a change and you in New York, go check this exhibition for yourself, and if you are my friend let me know I might go for something else, but since we became proud members of MOMA today we can bring our friends for only $5 admission as oppose to $20 general admissions. And if you go trust me this particular exhibition worth more than a $20.

8-10-08 Republica Dominicana Parade

We didn’t plan on it, but on our way to MOMA we ran into Republica Dominicana parade. One thing that I have to say, is that it is still impresses me how so many cultures could live in the same city and create a festive cheering holiday for each other. Although we are not Dominican, we felt the energy in the air and around us. I think we might participate in activities like this in the future.
