i thought i'd make an attempt at being cultural in buenos aires so i went to an art gallery called malba. well truth be told i wanted to go to the japonese gardens, but i was too late, and the gallery was nearby. there were a few nice pieces, but i ended up feeling fairly underwhelmed. a large portion of the gallery was dedicated to the artist marta minujin who was born in the place i've been staying, the san telmo district of buenos aires. she's a conceptual artist which in english is another way of saying wanker. from what i could glean, she seemed to be responsible from 60s type happenings which struck me as you had to be there type events. i dunno, it looks like she's popular, but it didn't really float my boat. for me, the coolest part of the museum was the benches that were sat on the first and second floors. they stretched like vines over the balcony, climbing up and down the walls. it was difficult to find a good angle, but hopefully you get some idea from this shot.

i cheated a little bit with this photo, using some cloning techniques to remove what i considered to be distracting background clutter. hopefully it isn't obvious, but i'm sure it will be more obvious after you check out the original
