MOCA on Tuesday

• Tuesday I visited MOCA – The Museum of Contemporary Art – again.

I love this picture I got of the museum's location and position on Grand Avenue.

• My first exhibit was Star-Crossed Rendezvous by Haegue Yang that "Brings together two major installations executed using customized Venetian blinds … made nearly a decade apart."

• From the MOCA website: "Haegue Yang (born in Seoul in 1971) is known for large-scale installations that employ utilitarian objects." I understand how intriguing the interplay of shadows and light often is, but I don't get this Venetian blind art at all.

• Haegue Yang is on Instagram

• My notes weren't careful enough to separate what I enjoyed from Gifts of Michael Asher and Good on Paper: Works from the Gene J. and Betye M. Burton Acquisitions Endowment. Here's three I liked a lot:

• BUS by Mason Williams

• I didn't record the artist of this lovely scene.

• This large imaginative piece is by Ree Morton who didn't get serious about art until her early 30s, and then earned an MFA.

• The book store is exciting and packed with color; here's a display of mostly cat books.

• After Tuna Tuesday at the Subway across the street from MOCA and beside The Broad, I went to FIGat7th because I've long loved the name for the complex at (South) Figueroa Street and (West) 7th Street, and mainly because I needed a few things from Target the very small format Target near me didn't have. I hadn't been there since long before Covid, and the entire area hasn't aged well. It was a little depressing.

• McDonald's frappés are so good! Even though they don't have hazelnut, choosing between Caramel and Mocha is tough. Didn't they used to have chocolate chip and maybe another flavor?
