    Boom

    25 October 2007: [insert photo: lunch plate] Went through El Raval and its trio of art centers (MACBA, FAD, CCCB) after a delicious lunch.

    Most moving was the MACBA exhibition: Sota la bomba. El jazz de la guerra d’imatges transatlàntica. 1946-1956. I sat on the ground to watch the documentary video archives from the atomic bomb tests on Bikini Atoll.

    [insert photo: modern art museum] I was shocked that people passed by the video, instead heading straight to the exhibition paintings on the wall. I guess it's standard museum protocol to look at art, but here's the real thing - right in your face - blast after blast.
