29/05-NY15 60s escaped

26th sat, 27th sun and 28th mon (memorial day holiday), three days in a row, has been full of festival mood, the sat festival at the street corner disappeared overnight, leaving just all the police block behind. Disappointed with two again flase address from the web in today's search of bkshops, when taking the bus was coming uptown I ran however into another street festival with food and chic stalls, at Madison Ave, up from 54th? down to 42th. I got even a bottle of icy fruit favour water for free from one, just timely for a relieve from the heat. Arrived early for another Cal arts short film screening, I walked into the museum and sit down at the bkshop at 2nd fl and read slowly a publication of Basel Kunsthalle, titled When attitude escapes form. It tells of the history of an avant-garde curator which was in charge for some years before finally left under pressure in the 60s. Many of his idea, were just as much what the avant-garde curator are trying to do today. are we really just in a time in memorial of the 60s? The films in turns seems another round of test of patience.
