We're big fans of Target at our house. We regularly go since they have a great baby section and Joy likes to drool over all the great design. I should say, all the great design for reasonable prices, which is the reason I like it. But today I got another reason to like Target (also strangely related to the reasonable prices)Target Free Friday Nights at MoMA.
That's right, every Friday night from 4:00 until 8:00, MoMA is free thanks to the generosity of Target. MoMA was in Queens last time we visited New York City, so I missed it. This time I desperately wanted to go and so when I found I could go for free, I skipped out of the conference and headed uptown.
MoMA was glorious. Truly. All the art I show my students in Music Since 1900 was there. I stared at Picassos, Lichtensteins, Matisses, Johns, Rousseaus, Boccionis,
Mondrians, and, of course, Rothkos. And the best part was that I had my little iPod, so I was able to make my own modern music soundtrack to go with my art. What could be better than viewing Kandinsky with Schoenberg or Rothko with John Luther Adams?
You carry Schoenberg around on your iPod. Of course you do. I should have known.
