Bruce Weber's photographs of Haiti / Little Haiti are at The Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) in North Miami from November 19 through February 13. I saw the show when I went to the Ron Book Reception honoring County Commission Jean Monestime. I did enjoy viewing the photos, one in particular, a beautiful photograph of community activist Marleine Bastien. What makes MOCA special for me is not the odd installations I often see there (that I don't quite get). I find special the guards that work there. They are so proud of the Museum and seem gloriously happy to be working at MOCA. Two were helpful and engaging. One suggested leaflets of future shows that I should take with me. I never felt so welcome in an art museum. I will remember them -- they that put a smile on my face on a previous visit -- more than the featured artist's video that she made of herself in a tribute to her idol Johnny Depp. Didn't get the video either.
