5/23, Friday. SAAM Open House.
I came to see Ai Weiwei's large lego work: water-lily.
Cannot imagine how many little lego pieces are there, the amount of effort.
The room is too small to display it. Took an entire wall.
I joined the last few minutes of the guided tour of the temporary exhibition:
Suchitra Mattai - She Walked in Reverse. A Guyana American artist born with Indian heritage,
Suchitra Mattai takes worn fabric and repurpose them into colorful objects, often very large.
At 7pm, standup comedy time. One from Taiwan, one from India, one from Tibet, all women. It's a bit noisy in the central atrium. People talk, kids whine. Not the best stage. They handled it well.
Sunset is so late now. When I left, the sun was still too high.
