I guess we missed the opening for the new show at Rochester Contemporary. They have it on Thursday now to avoid the First Friday crowd. I don’t think we missed much. We tried tweeting MoMa with the telegraph prompter that someone rigged to an iPad but I could only get gibberish out. I got a kick out of Kristen Lucas’s piece in the Lab Space. She documented an effort in the state of California to legally change her name to exactly what it was in the first place. She likened it to “refreshing” a webpage.
We showed up at Visual Studies just as they announced Scott McCarney as an award winner for his Gilbert & George piece, “Married.” That’s Scott on the right. He had one of his marvelous books in “I Do” show as well.

Once in a while I view pop-wars through the Flipboard portal. There the photos really “pop”.
I too loved the “refresh” piece at RoCo. Ironic since it was such low-tech art in an advertised digital exhibition. More irony; much of the work in that show (especially Peer Bode) is actually retro “as in last century” images and signal manipulation.
