Funney/Strange!
Oh, the fun. The fun. I've never laughed so much in a museum, but Wegman has done it for me. I mean, X-ray of a Peach In a Dish?? It's so absurdly abstract, yet it precipitates you into the very depths of this strange familiarity that your inner conflicting emotions forcibly muster out this sound. What was it...? Oh yes, that's right, "HAHA".
Funney/Strange is an exhibition that I was unaware of, and usually not something that would catch my eye at first glance. I had not gone into the Smithsonian expecting to find a jewel like this. No, it found me. I strongly urge that if you are in the area, please go see it, now. After all, admission is free and you receive an added bonus of rich American Art heritage. If you are not in the area, then by all means look at where the exhibition is traveling to next. If you are lucky enough to have it in your area, do yourself a favor and go have some fun.
I mean, Whale Contemplating Gravity? Various Polaroids of Ray? Oh William Wegman, you floor me.

Darn, nowhere near the west coast...gotta visit then!
Are you allowed to take pictures of these exhibits? Not that photos would fully convey the sense of being there, but it might be...fun. :)
