Museum Monday: Reflections from a Great Weekend

Sometimes, even when I’m in the middle of turning on the 15 TVs, getting ready for a last minute founder visit this AM, I can’t believe how much I love this place and how it keeps giving to me:

A few weeks ago a guy dropped off his Pigface Alley leather from 1992/93….. The arm is signed by everyone involved with Pigface at that time, and there’s Paul Raven’s artwork on the back; cool and definitely needing a revolving base so everyone can see all of it. Then, this past Friday, I put my hand in a bag to get a Revolting Cocks CD for a display and saw a Pigface flyer. I mean – there’s so many Pigface logos on things around here it wasn’t anything special until I read the flyer -for a leather jacket give-away……at The Alley – THIS leather jacket!! I swear, you put something on a wall here and related items slide across the room to assemble themselves into a curated exhibit – it’s magic and so relevant in this moment! I also get to see the NIN Year Zero “art is resistance – YOU have a voice” everyday, and look at the killing joke lyrics from Greed, which could’ve been written yesterday!
