Lackidasical regarding my laziness, not relating to my lack of interest of blogging otherwise we wouldn’t be here would we?
I’m tired, and the summer is going by way too fast.
I just watched a pretty dope movie (a little before my movie a day binge I recently started) called They shoot horses don’t they? A Sydney Pollack movie with a very young Jane Fonda. It was really intriguing that the story just started off innocent and became much more unsettling as the story progresses, it’s fascinating to begin with then it becomes much harder to digest.
See they look like they are having fun don’t they?
little do you know….
This idea of attraction vs repulsion is happening in a lot of modern art, there are these otherwise perplexing images, that have an frightening story to tell.. over here at MM ( again where I have been housed and interning over the summer) this is essentially everything on our first floor in our main gallery
But it really reminds me of an older exhibit that we had by Carsten Holler, Amusement park.
This is where Holler assembled an amusement park in building 5 and slowed it down to ridiculous lenghts (think a 3 inches every 10 minutes). So at first glance it is familiar and friendly, but then later on it becomes frightening after time progresses.
A bit of a jump but really really neccessary song to listen to… not creepy whatsoever.
Like I said, I am progressively getting to the point of exhaustion -for reasons unknown- but it is summer and highly reccomend everyone listening to Thao and the Get Down Stay Down, and specifically, their track “swimming pools”… Made of awesomenesss
