One of the few non-artists or the only Asian in the 5POINTZ....haha             


   昨天阳光明媚，我独自去Queens East River河边“探索”，结果发现了好多奇妙的东西。两个同伴在睡懒觉，看来我的生活还是健康向上。
    七号线Vernon-Jackson Blv下来，先去河边上原来1920年代还是纽约港口和火车装卸货物的码头，在荒废很多年代后，约十二年前变成了公园，河对面就是联合国。
    从Jackson Blv走几条马路，那个MoMa的 PS1艺术馆就座落在一个旧的学校内。现代艺术有荒唐的一面，也有令人叫绝的时候。从地板下传出的婴儿的呼救声、到地上的一张乱蓬蓬在蠕动的锡纸、到一个房间性生殖器暴露的淫乱照片、到一段海滩上在焚烧的画卷、到一个炉子上的咖啡壶，艺术无处不在你身边，我的厕所可能就是Moma的延伸部分，分馆吧。
    PS1 对面的巨大仓库建筑，每天从地铁上见到的色彩斑澜的涂鸦竟然是一个合法的涂鸦区域，叫 5Pointz。
想不到今天是涂鸦节日子(Worldwide Urban Art Festival 2010)，热热闹闹不但有涂鸦艺术家（有黑人也有白人，千万不要因为别人黑就说别人象流氓，艺术家是恰当的称呼）在喷涂，而且有歌手和乐队演出，还有卖吃卖喝的。这完全是一个崭新的世界。真幸运赶上这个节日，而且很少有人来此处游览, 完全属于纽约 off-the-beaten track。
