I heard of MOMA’s P.S.1 Contemporary Center in Long Island City for the longest time, but never really went to check it out until now. Maybe because I just dunno how to appreciate Art, but almost everything in PS1 are too “contemporary” for my taste! The whole time I was like, “What am I looking at?

From the look of things, this inconvenient and still acceptable …
