hola – we’re back

September 10, 2007 By morgan

Red Man
waiting for dinner to be served …

Well, we’ve actually been back for a couple of weeks. But I’m finally coming up for air for a minute to provide a brief Milo fix.

It turns out that Milo is an intrepid traveler and braved multiple forms of transit including 7 flight legs, 2 long bus rides, 2 long train rides and countless subways, trams, taxis and rental cars. This kid is going to have a killer portfolio of frequent flier miles by the time he comes of age!!

1st Airplane!
Getting ready to leave JFK for Europe – 1st Airplane!

New York > Barcelona > Frankfurt > Mallorca > Barcelona > New York

Gaudi sucks!
Milo didn’t think much of Gaudi – La Segrada Familia in Barcelona, Spain

Picasso + Milo
but he could totally relate to Picasso – Picasso Museum in Barcelona, Spain

Papabubble!
yay, Papabubble!! – Barcelona, Spain

Documenta XXII
yay, Documenta XXII !!! – Kassel, Germany

Milo and a Schloss
yay, a schloss! – Kassel, Germany

sometimes we were serious
sometimes we were serious – La Cala Torta in Mallorca, Spain

family shot
sometimes we weren’t – Casa Con Jordi in Mallorca, Spain

We had a great trip – more details and more pix to come later …

Rachel and I thought we should be encouraging after Milo recently expressed an interest in art (see abstract expressionism post) – so today we all hopped in the car and drove up to Dia:Beacon.

But before long Milo decided he’d better take a nap.

abstract expressionism

June 9, 2007 By morgan

I found this to be an apt description for the cultural production depicted below:

Technically, an important predecessor is surrealism, with its emphasis on spontaneous, automatic or subconscious creation.

– taken from the wikipedia entry for abstract expressionism

It all started with a direct hit – inconceivably, Milo managed to pee all over me while somehow not getting a drop on himself. But this performance was just the preamble to a much more sophisticated work:

direct hit - 1

direct hit - 2

abstract expressionism - 1

abstract expressionism - 2

abstract expressionism - 3

abstract expressionism - 4

abstract expressionism - 5

abstract expressionism - 6

abstract expressionism - 7

I really have lost it. Even Milo’s poop is too perfect to comprehend. Art history is littered with all kinds of piss and poop related endeavors. This particular work by Milo seems to resemble paintings by Jackson Pollock. Pollock himself was a notorious pisser – infamously peeing into Peggy Guggenheim’s fireplace. You might look at his drip paintings as a metaphor for pissing:
Jackson Pollock

In the 70s, Andy Warhol produced ‘oxidation’ paintings – friends were asked to piss onto canvases prepared with copper paint.
Andy Warhol: Oxidation

There is Duchamps urinal, “Fountain“:
Michel Duchamp: Fountain

And Kiki Smith’s “Tale“:

And Andres Serrano’s “Piss Christ“:

And Chris Ofili’s collage “The Holy Virgin Mary” which incorporates elephant feces.

And I’m sure many more …
