Ooops! Apparently I had the wrong link yesterday. This is the correct link to LifeBook: http://bit.ly/LifeBook2017. Thank you!
I was in New York last month and I just *had* to go and visit MoMA (the Museum of Modern Art). Much of the museum was off limits for exhibit installations. But what we did see was compelling.
I was so impressed with the final exhibit (last photo above — no photos allowed in the exhibit) that I bought the exhibit catalog. You can read a bit about Bruce Conner and see some images from the exhibit in this NY Times review of the exhibit.
Speaking of buying things, the M0MA gift shop is one of my favorite places to explore. This time around, I particularly liked these items:
- Fortune Cakes: Reusable silicone cupcake liners that have a fortune at the bottom. I thought they were a super fun idea!
- Folded Paper Animal Calendars: I thought these might be a fun DIY project. Simply, cut out the same animal twice, stamp a calendar on one side, and glue the tops of the two animals together. Done!
- Sugar Spoon: I thought this was just such clever design! A sugar skull on a sugar spoon.
But, I didn't buy any of that. What I did buy is this amazing superhero pop-up book (I had to take a video so that you could see the pop-ups in action!):
Hope you enjoyed this little trip to the museum!
Thanks for stopping by!

This is really the most amazing pop up book i have ever seen! Thank you Julie for showing it, i was so excited to see this work of art. Now i wonder if it being sold in Turkey 🙂

When you said you bought a pop-up book I said “good grief”….but then I watched the video and OMG! How awesome….

Julie,
I love your museum visits. Since I live in a small, rural town, I live vicariously through you when it comes to things like museums and city life. Some day, I’ll get back to NY, Boston, Chicago, DC, etc….but until then, keep posting! Also, I hope to get Make It Artsy on our local PBS station soon!

A trip tp the Museum is always fabulous! (I see you pay homage with your tote bag, too!) I’ve already shared your Pop Up Book YouTube with one of my co-workers, he will definitely love this. I am intrigued by the Mapping Journey exhibit. And also enjoy how much fun you have in the Museum!

If you poke around on the Internet a little, there is a video of pop-up books being assembled that is just fascinating. I can’t remember if it was posted by Matthew Reinhart or by Robert Sabuda – another astounding paper engineer – but it is well worth looking for. Thanks for sharing this. I love pop-ups.

Loved pop-up books as a kid, but appreciate them more as an adult with all the art and detailing that they have now. This book is no exception! WOW, glad to see we are kindred spirits when it comes to the DC world of heroes! lol That is one heck of a book! Thanks for sharing.

I adore pop up books. Robert Sabuda is my favorite paper engineer. I own pretty much his every book. This one will be joining my collection, though. Thanks, Julie. Hope to see you at Whim Dec. 9. Super Schueler out.
