I have had the feeling that I was dreaming multiple times this trip. Standing in front of Judy Chicago’s dinner party made me feel this way today. I have never felt particularly drawn to the piece when seeing it from a slide projector, and I do think that is part of its appeal for me. It didn’t evoke any feeling in me besides the novelty of being in the presence if one if the most talked about contemporary art pieces. It was like standing next to a celebrity! And now the bragging rights that come from seeing it, oh yeah, I HAVE seen, The Dinner Party!
