So living in NYC gives you loads of opportunities to experience the arts. However, I am ofter too exhausted or busy to take advantage all that is available. This weekend my friend Emily & I had a nice brunch and visited MOMA – PS1. See our favorite exhibit above and read about it above.
Surasi Kusolwong (Thai, b. 1965) makes installations and performances that reference consumer society and the economy. Through his participatory and interactive works the Bangkok-based artist encourages social interaction over economic exchange. His large-scale installation Golden Ghost (The Future Belongs To Ghosts) (2011), which was first presented in the Creative Time exhibition Living as Form, invites visitors to enter into the vast field of industrial thread waste to search for gold necklaces hidden in the piles of cotton. Visitors who are fortunate enough to find a necklace are welcome to keep it. The work suggests a sense of play in which visitors can climb the mounds of thread waste, comb through the material and explore. While the literal treasure hunt in a field of excess serves as a metaphor for consumption at the global and individual level, it also inverts standard systems of exchange—the expensive gold necklaces are not sold nor bartered, but generously given away.
Retailing for $750, this 100% oiled, deer tanned, cowhide, jacket is a recreation of the 1944 bomber jacket that was worn by WWII army air force pilots. The jacket features a luxurious removable mouton fur collar, zip in quilted lining vest insulated with a polyester fiberfill. Other details include a front zipper over a wind flap, two snap close side entry pockets, inside pocket for wallet, cell phone or media player, original style oxygen mask tab, knit cuffs and waistband, and sleeve pen/pencil pocket. Proudly made in the U.S.A.
I’ve worn this out every day since I got it and it’s by far one of the best quality jacket I own! COCKPIT USA
Sorry I look a bit tired in this but it’s not a …. bad photo overall – It’s abou the jacket anyway!

This weekend I went home to help my family with some work around the house. Among fixing my grandmother’s computer I also helped my dad plane some wood for the overhangs of the new roof we will have done to replace the old house roof. The boards were 15-20 feet long X 18 inches wide X 2 inches thick. It was nice to do something with my hands for once that didn’t involve a compter! HAHA – My mom was nice enough to take a photo of me doing something for once! 😛
