LAST DAY OF SUMMER TRaC 2008 ever.......

Our big finale is tomorrow and what better place than the Bowery to finish up our time in the city together. Can I get a "Hell, Yes!"?


We're meeting up at THE NEW MUSEUM at 235 Bowery Street from 4:30-7pm. (We were there. You saw it. Here's the website: http://www.newmuseum.org) The stated mission of the New Museum is as follows:

Our focus is going to be the exhibition After Nature, though you can of course check out the whole place - and you should! From the website: "After Nature surveys a landscape of wilderness and ruins, darkened by uncertain catastrophe. It is a story of abandonment, regression, and rapture—an epic of humanity and nature coming apart under the pressure of obscure forces and not-so-distant environmental disasters. Bringing together an international and multigenerational group of artists, filmmakers, writers, and outsiders, the exhibition depicts a universe in which humankind is being eclipsed and new ecological systems struggle to find a precarious balance."

Sounds uplifting, doesn't it??? Perfect for our last adventure.
Before we go, take a look at the online exhibition here.

And, as this is more like a party than a class, feel free to invite any and all friends to come along. Just be there by 4:30 so we can go in!
