A few days ago I had the chance to stop by my favorite museum, the Museum of Art and Design, truly a New York design gem.  The reason… for an exhibit about an unlikely, overlooked and under appreciated art medium…

DIRT

We live with it, battle it, are disgusted by it, remove it and encounter it everyday.  The one thing we don’t do is admire and and examine it as an art form and an object worthy or praise.  I loved this exhibit, slow to start but as you delve deep and look closely you’ll develop a new appreciation for dirt, dust and of all things, dryer lint. 

Swept Away: Dust, Ashes and Dirt in Contemporary Art and Design runs through August 12, 2012, at the Museum of Contemporary Arts and Design.

Cain’s Arcade

This video has been floating around the interweb for a few months now, I love everything about it.  It’ll make you cry, think and laugh. 

Belmont Stakes -sadly I’ll have another was not in the race. Belmont has been on my bucket list for awhile, it was nice to see where horse racing history has been made. 

The Color Run- tickets sold out in a day.  I’m looking forward to running with thousands of others who get a kick out of getting covered in color!
