Memory #38

My mom took us to the Museum of Modern Art in New York. We saw a plastic fly sitting on a white cube. We saw a mannequin facing a corner, entitled, "Martin, Go Stand in the Corner and be Ashamed of Yourself." We also saw boxes of chocolates formed from chewed up lipsticks. There was a pile of candy sitting on the floor for people to take. There was also a poster featuring mugshots that you could take. One exhibit was photos of prostitutes' breasts. Another large painting featured a woman being raped on a pool table by 5 men in a bar. A hall of photographs displayed a picture of the patterns on a carpet. We saw furniture of the future designed in Japan. A little framed piece of paper with a tiny line down the middle was called, "Pinched and Rubbed Paper." My favorite artwork was a giant photo of a girl disemboweling a rattle snake.
