There is an amazing new exhibition opening soon at GoMA.  It's called 21st Century:  Art in the First Decade and it's basically a collection of art pieces they have obtained between 2000 and 2010.
It's going to be magical and I can't wait to take the girls, especially to the kids programs.  I am also really enjoying reading their blog.  I love seeing how pieces are put together.

This is called 'Left/Right Slide' by Carsten Holler and I find it fascinating.  When I first saw it, I had a feeling of, "Oh.  That's a bit steep, but it looks kind of fun."  Then I read that he describes them as *devices for eliciting 'an emotional state that is a unique condition somewhere between delight and madness.'
