30/4-SF17 taste bad?
Originally much time to write but followed a false lead for Green Apple and came home really late.
early morning take BART to Berkeley, see the BAM, almost no gd stuffs inside, the bldg interior is quite distinctive, but it allows no photo anyway. the dreaming california photo show with such as Larry Sultan seems more well derserve attention then the Measure of Time, with a color illustrationed pamphlet with a long curatorial article.
The campus guide tour is even worse, one of the most time wasting decision so far of mine, for there is not much history of the 60s told, the student tour guide seems more like a sales, saying that they have now controlled activism!, while a woman asked about the co-toilet and bathroom in a certain dorm. all hopeless.
better find are the around 4 second hand bkshops I visited, including Moe's of four floors. maybe I could shop more if it is the last stop instead of the first; one of the two that were bought there is Sarah Gill's The Critic Sees - A Guide to Art Criticism, which I knew from last trip, but met only new copy once in B&N.
Then afterwards, I head to Oakland Museum of California. A Room of Dorothea Lange and a section on Weston is all to see, surprise however to see a Chris Burden piece with significate inclusion of chinese characters. Otherwise the works are all mostly provincial, which it is, afterall?
see perhaps how people comment e.g. http://www.yelp.com/biz/1ewkA8E5i--Nj2MpfA0u4A on the Lost Art Salon http://www.lostartsalon.com/pages/5/index.htm
and compare it with e.g.
http://www.yelp.com/biz/vVUpCjIeb6mk6t4rKQbfyQ
on the Forever after Books,
and you know different people have different criteria, each having its fans, and it is easy to spot the similar pattern from how people like or dislike this two places.
