Not to mention all of the money and materials spent on developing an exhibit, it <B>should</B> be re-used.<BR/><BR/>I would consider myself fairly traditional when it comes to architecture, but I found this exhibit very though provoking. I'm pleased I had an opportunity to view it when I was in Chicago visiting. Its one thing that keeps popping back into my head as I continue to process what I saw while wandering around the city for 10 days.<BR/><BR/>I enjoy viewing work such as this because I believe (although not necessarily always practical) it fosters a dialogue that is important in current and emerging architecture.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10923291.post-73761176336099820532007-08-31T00:18:00.000-05:002007-08-31T00:18:00.000-05:00im not understanding your resentment, i guess... b...im not understanding your resentment, i guess... besides the xef. show.. what else was a prepackaged exhibit?<BR/><BR/>the garofalo show was new. the young chicago was new. the show opening in december is new. whats wrong with bringing a show he spent time creating as a stopgap between original exhibitions?..how many "original" shows does the ARTIC have in its other departments? dont they just card out monet all the time..or the Jeff Wall show, brought from moma? at least the xef. show was rosa's curation..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10923291.post-63564830220472836722007-07-16T09:20:00.000-05:002007-07-16T09:20:00.000-05:00Does not the exhibit reflect the taste of the AIC ...Does not the exhibit reflect the taste of the AIC officials. The content of the exhibit (which I think is a waste of plastic and glue) is a separate discussion from where it was created. Shouldn’t we appreciate that AIC did not spend big bucks creating the show from scratch.<BR/><BR/>If this show is representative of what the new curator did in SF, then I think we can expect to see more. It seems unlikely that Cuno & Co. would have hired someone and then said “we like your work, now change.”Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10923291.post-76425035863372153412007-07-14T20:31:00.000-05:002007-07-14T20:31:00.000-05:00How about this: Instead of getting important, int...How about this: Instead of getting important, intelligent exhibitions, whether invented here or elsewhere, we're getting someone else's leftovers because they're cheaper than doing something original.Lynn Beckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03759748613223711212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10923291.post-49091280177175965182007-07-14T17:29:00.000-05:002007-07-14T17:29:00.000-05:00How about instead: The Art Institute may be gettin...How about instead: The Art Institute may be getting over their not-invented-here philosophy and appears to be willing to present exhibitions that they could not have afforded to develop in-house.<BR/><BR/>How can this be bad for Chicago?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
