I had two missions today: to see the exhibit on the roof of the Met, and the show of collected junk at the MoMA.
Roxy Paine's installation on the roof was pretty great. It had been described to me as "twigs", but when I saw it it seemed more chaotic than that.

I really loved these: empty tubes of toothpaste, fruit wrappers and especially the tons of plastic bags carefully folded into little triangles.

I have become my mother : I fold all my plastic bags just like that :D
