I clearly remember the day (was it December?) when I also opened the New York Times Magazine and felt downright jealous of Taryn Simon. Can't wait to see her show at the Whitney in March. #3 made me laugh.

A lot of the list I didn’t see, so I can’t comment that much on them, but as the gallery I intern at represents him, I am excited to see David Ireland on there for Best Show in a Commerical Gallery Nationally. The Rauschenberg exhibit at MOCA I am bit (just a bit) surprised about.  I was good, but I don’t know about best of the year.  Same for the Richard Tuttle at the SF MOMA; it was good, but not great.  I do have to say that I am surprised that the Matthew Barney exhibit at the SF MOMA didn’t make anyones list, such as Artforum, (although a show at MOMA made their list) Art Fag City or Alex Soth.

My New Year’s resolution was to make more time for the big screen. Tonight I made my first outing to see Alfonso Cuarón’s Children of Men (2006). I doubt I’ll see a better movie this year. Like Cormac McCarthy’s The Road (also on my Top 10 list), Children of Men is a masterpiece of bleak and breathless storytelling. It is also equally relevant. “It imagines the unthinkable,” Manohla Dargis wrote in the New York Times, “What if instead of containing Iraq, the world has become Iraq, a universal battleground of military control, security zones, refugee camps and warring tribal identities?” [...] [...] While working on my Top 10 list, I realized that I only watched one movie in a theater in 2006.

Just as I only saw one movie in a theater (and didn’t mention some incredible Netflix rentals), I didn't purchase too many photography books from 2006. I haven't seen the "Sweet Earth" book (though I very much enjoyed the exhibition) and haven't spent time with "Chronologies." I have a new respect for the task of putting together lists. It is truly daunting - especially the exclusionary aspect. But as silly as it is, I kind of like doing it. It is a good excuse to put on the thinking cap.
