MOCA - ECSTASY In and About Altered States
 

As a MOCA member I got an invite to an opening of the new show at the Geffen Contemporary, ECSTASY In and about Altered States. It opens to members on Saturday, October 8, with a performance piece by Lara Favaretto, and DJ set by Sandra Collins.

To quote MOCA about the exhibit:
But a picture is worth a 1000 words:

Carsten HöllerUpside Down Mushroom Room

I think this might be a fun one to go to, perhaps working in a Downtown LA swanking in the mix. The show runs through February 20. Post if you are interested and I'll work out the details of this one.

Veddy, veddy eentadesting...

So in.

Wow! That looks like a place I could live...

Duuuuude. Are you seeing this? I'm totally tripping out.

No way we'd miss this!

As you might imagine, I'm already arranging for the appropriate consumables for hanging out in the upside down mushroom-room.


Just say when.

We have become ore with the snake

We're here a MOCA sitting on a giant snake popping pink and white pills - REALLY!

"Riiiiide the snake!"

That was too cool... I'm still completely fascinated by my experience in the flashing room... I never felt so high when I wasn't at all. Completely threw me off. I hope to go again...

So last night Not Afraid and I decided to hit the opening with Blueerica and Tramspotter. Needless to saw we had quite a time, starting with the festive party favors:



And who could resist takng just one from this accomodating group:



No pics were allowed inside the Museum, but outside the site transformed a little patch of Downtown into an ecstatic wonderland:





But then things got a bit fuzzy:



And a colorful rain began:



And we found comfort with a snake:



And we were transformed:



And quite dilerious



Until we had to go home:



And leave the confetti behind:
