Mmmm, literaturwurst.

For about ten million reasons, our favorite museum in Buenos Aires is MALBA, the Museo de Arte Latinamerico de Buenos Aires. We hit the cinema there pretty frequently, and we check out the art on occasion too. Last Thursday we went with Alexandra, a German friend of ours, to the opening of an exhibit on Fluxus in Germany. We enjoyed the art, which captured the playful spirit of Fluxus, and we enjoyed the free champagne, which always enhances an experience.

After checking out the exhibit, we were discussing MALBA with Carlos, who finds the whole venture kind of horrifying. “Did you know that the museum loses money every year?” he asked us. He also said that although all the foreigners who visit always go to MALBA, he himself has never been. Perhaps the literaturwurst is not to his taste. -EMW
