Visited the Andy Warhol exhibit on at the Modern Art Museum in Buenos Aires. This is a thought that stuck with me:
"Everybody has their own America, and then they have the pices of a fantasy America that they think is out there but they can't see. When I was little, I never left Pennsylvania, and I used to have fantasies about things that I thought were happening in the midwest or down South, or in Texas, that I felt I was missing out on. But you can only live in one place at one time. And your own life, as it is happening to you never has any atmosphere until it is a memory. So the fantasy corners of America seem so atmospheric because you have pieced them together from scenes in movies and music and lines in books. And you live in your dream America that you have custom made from art and schaltz and emotions just as much as you live in your real one". (Andy Warhol, 1985)
