Spent yesterday eating brunch, visiting LACMA, and ordering in Vietnamese food with friends. BCAM (The Broad Museum Of Contemporary Art) has just opened next to LACMA but tickets for entrance are still sold out until mid-week. Walked through all of the old galleries in the permanent collection and was pleasantly surprised to see some old friends: two versions of Brancusi's "Bird in Space" as well as a beautiful room of Giacometti's that I forgot LACMA has always housed. The new space, although apparently scathingly criticized by the New York Times, was airy and monumental. Chris Burden's new conceptual piece, a hypostle-hall like maze of street lamps was lovely and glowing as dusk fell.
After a few hours exploring the galleries, Meaghan and I headed back to the apartment for wine and pho. Today- lounging around the house drinking coffee, reading, and watching bad tv. About to take a stroll down Melrose to people watch and grab a bit of sunshine...
