"I Wish Your Wish"

Recently, the New Museum had a mid-career show of the Brazilian artist, Rivane Neuenschwander called, "A Day Like Any Other."  I didn't make it but my bff and her husband did and raved.  It's easy to see why.  Colorful and sweet, strong and filled with curiosity and compassion.  A tenderness and an accessibility.  A call to participation. 

Many great works, but below a sampling from I Wish Your Wish.

Thousands of ribbons printed with collected wishes from strangers/viewers in the past displayed.  Visitors invited to take one and replace with a piece of paper on which their own wish is scribbled.  Poignent, sad, uplifting and beautiful and wonderful!
