There's a new exhibit at the Brooklyn museum showcasing Kiki Smith's latest work. I desperately want to see it but don't want to pay the admission fee. I am mesmerized by all things Kiki Smith. We go waaayy back, since I was a pre-teen. Interestingly enough her collection of work is about death and the perceptions of death and funeral rituals in our culture. I am currently taking a class that has covered this taboo topic. It is particularly shocking what happens to some deceased bodies and how severely obsessed and deranged some scientists and medical practitioners are about experimenting with dead bodies in the name of "educating the public". It's all too much for me! But before I get carried away with that,
I'll get back to Kiki.
Did I mention I love her work and really would like to see this show? Too bad so many of my friends are flakes and probably would not see it with me, not to mention I don't want to pay the admission fee. Huhhh what a life.... If you get the chance, see it for me and tell me it was as amazing as I thought it would be pretty please??
