Hi-Lo Art and Life

Takashi Murakami @ Versailles

Japanese pop artist extraordinaire recently has an exhibition at the ostentatiously glamorous Versailles in France. The result? A kitschy mix of high culture and 'low' popular culture that pretty much defines the age we live in today. It's almost akin to the latest fashion trends, of mixing 'high-brow' pieces such as tweed jackets or pearls to a casual item like jeans and a tank. It's exciting, fresh and sooooo Murakami! AND.. it's like Jeff Koons, but cuter and squishy! (yes... i said squishy...how intellectual of me)

It seemed not too long ago that I was slugging it out in Brooklyn, dusting away at dust bunnies that never seemed to go away and meeting the colorful hodge-podge of denizens that would make up New York City.

Well, we survived and this is proof of it! Despite the trauma, it was a great experience and yes, I do kinda miss those persistent dust bunnies :P
