Oh, That Nutty New Museum

The giant rainbow "Hell Yes!" sign on the New Museum's facade has intrigued me for a few months, and I finally made time to go in there.  The stacked boxes remind me of a conceptual model, rather than an actual building.  I get a kick out of the fourth floor, cantilevering out like that.  Some initial thoughts:
1. I'm a fan of the DIY bookstore- corrugated metal, curved, with plywood shelves screwed in.  I wonder if they did this for aesthetic purposes, budgetary, or for flexibility in case they need the space.
2. It's odd at first to get used to a vertical museum. The square footage isn't that large on each floor, and reduces as you climb. (This is also a city-specific thing to get used to.)
3. Elevator is neon green and also freight.  On one hand I loved it, on another, the color made me kind of nauseous.
4. The stacking makes for really unique circulation in the building.  If you don't take the elevator, there are narrow stairs tucked all the way on the north side- we're talking 36" narrow.  It's a odd feeling of intimacy juxtaposed with the huge gallery spaces, but it works.
5. Urs Fischer's exhibit, Marguerite de Ponty, where he's taken over several entire floors.  On one he created this abstracted view of the city, using digital photographs and chrome boxes, that seems at once to capture the essence of an experience walking through.  It's engaging, humorous, intricate, and distinctly in your face.  Another floor has incredible aluminum sculptures that will leave you puzzled on their construction.  Also the tongue was surreal.  Or was it too real?  Or is that the point?  Either way, go see it.  But hurry, it's only there until February 7.
Also- bathrooms- color, placement, scale... spot on.
