Last day of a short month! Spring is stepping up to the plate! And today looks glorious.
My daughter, friend and I had a great time seeing the two installations of Hung Liu, one an amazing gold mountain of fortune cookies, and the other a multilayered enormous mural that had so much for the eye to take in that it was impossible. Then we heard her speak. She's articulate, funny, and awe inspiring. I bought a book of her show in Beizing, and will also buy the book from the Oakland Museum when that show opens. I've admired her for many years, and my friend has a painting by her, very lovely. My daughter got to know her while she was in grad school at Mills, and she had her to her classroom as a guest. The kids loved her. She's sixty five and a bundle of high energy enthusiasm. No slowing down for this older lady!
So I'm excited about her retrospective, and also a new show at the Asian Museum that just opened. And I want to see the Mauritisius show at the de Young another time as well. Treasures abound!
