MEI VINTAGE BLOG

Few weeks ago I had the opportunity to visit a new exhibit at MOCA.  I decided to come here on a whim right after a hectic week of work preparing for holiday rush deliveries. After my many trips to downtown LA, I decided to take a spontaneous detour. To my surprise, it was exactly what I really needed to distress myself. It turned out to be a night of art therapy and visiting the museum was really an escape to another place in time where I can feel calm, relax and declutter my mind.  My face completely lit up as soon as I walk inside and saw the new exhibit called Room to Live curated by Bennett Simpson. MOCA Museum in Downtown LA - 250 S. Grand Ave. Los Angeles I took some snapshots below of the new exhibit, Room to Live  features selected room-scale works and in-depth single artist presentation.  The highlight was walking through  Marnie Weber's Giggle of Clowns that shows off a group of clowns mourning the loss of one of the characters....

I love unplanned weekend where spontaneous suggestion from a friend turned out to be a fun filled visit to an art gallery.  Last weekend a good friend invited me to check out a new artwork Exhibit at Know Gallery in LA.  I've been there before, but this show in particular was so much fun!  The exhibit took me back to my childhood where I use to watch Sesame Street with my brother and learned ABC and sang along with Elmo!  The show did such a great job at merging childhood nostalgia with street art.  There were over 40 works of art and artists from all over the world.  Thanks to my good friend, the exhibit brought a huge smile to my face! Below are some pictures I took.  Enjoy! Check out this cute video I stumble upon.... Fiest singing 1234 on Sesame Street!

The weather in LA has been a little bit unpredictable recently.  Last weekend the weather was sunny at the Renegade Fair in LA and today it's raining and chilly.  I woke up this morning to the sound of rain. It reminds me of Carpenters song, Raining Days and Mondays.  I enjoy listening to oldies growing up and I love Karen Carpenter's voice. She made me feel happy and loved and she had the most beautiful voice ever!  I am staying indoor today and enjoying her angelic voice while getting some work done.
