none of them are you

yamamanamaA guy was riding his bicycle at the Broadway platform… I feel I mentioned that before. Or at least I've seen it before. Maybe at Andrew rather than Broadway.
There was a salsa ensemble at the MFA. Specifically, a salsa ensemble led by Edwin Pabon. ¡bailar! Uh, I know that means dance. But otherwise, my Spanish skills are on par with El Niño (which is Spanish for The Niño) and the bee man. Some guy learned his dance moves from Gene Belcher. I learned my dance moves from Gene too, but I was holding a book and sketchbook, so I had to stick with the Tina dance.
It's a conceptually easy dance. Take one step and then again, much like The Mario. Also twirl. Swing your arms from side to side. Stuff like that.
it fits because there's an exhibit of contemporary art from Latin America, which included
• a man in a coffin and a woman ringing a service bell. I thought he was an ultrarealistic sculpture but then I saw him breathing.
• a jail (painted in orange on two walls, with actual bars in the with an ear splitting beep whenever someone walked into it and I'm not sure if that's because people aren't supposed to go inside
• a bird's eye view of confession booths
• an outline of Mexico in gold.
• a passage from Invisible Cities about a city reflected in water etched into a mirror in reversed writing.
• hanging balloons filled with sand or something like it, which made navigation through that room rather annoying.
• animated Mondrian-esque squares.
• South America made out of skeletons and North America made out of Mickey Mouse stickers.
• North America made out of skeletons and South America made out of Mickey Mouse stickers.
• Mickey and some Venezuelan doctor figure having a staredown.
• A ladder, representing upwards mobility in society, cut into two halves.
elsewhere, there was a rather cartoony dragon, a hawk, and a tiger. Not real ones, art. Duh. Extreme closeups of plastic waste washed up on a beach in Hawaii. Avant-garde photography. Four paintings that may or may not be done by Caravaggio.
It wasn't easy to draw some of these people but they liked their portraits so oh well.
there was a guy playing guitar and a woman singing at Park Street.
Song For Nelson is beautiful, just beautiful. I wish it was longer and I wish there were things like it. Sadly, Diary of a Drunken Sun is nigh-impossible to find legitimately.
Burning Question: Art stolen from Havana ended up in Miami. Who didn't see that coming?
