I am not one of those people who will wait in line for hours for a ticket to a sporting event or a concert. On Friday I became one of those people. The Museum of Fine Arts was offering free tickets if you got online and through at 10 am. So at 9:58 I clicked and started to wait. Obviously the server was swamped and it took an agonizing 24 minutes until SUCCESS. What got me all giddy was that the MFA was showing the documentary The Gates about the creation of the amazing exhibit in Central Park in 2005. Not only were we seeing the movie but the artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude were there and we were 3 rows away from them!
It was wonderful and made me relive the amazement of the exhibit all over again. It was seredipidious and last minute trip to NY for an exhibit at the Met and lo and behold there was this amazing exhibit in park. The luminous orange gates snaking their way through the park against the monochromatic February landscape was amazing. I am so very glad I was able to witness it then and again on Friday with my friend.
