Getting into the new building provided respite from the crowd of 50,000 protestors. But honestly the curation is somewhat uneven and lacking. Lots of “trying to hard” in our view.

The Moon.


The most interesting piece we saw was called Bugs and was animated by Victoria Crib. Incredible.

Watch the trailer (also on vimeo).

Yo could have sworn that we had a kilometer yet to go. He did not open himself up to the rhinoceros.


Romey and I sprinted up to 4 as soon as we arrived to take in the impressionists before they were mobbed.







































Is this a Renoir or a Manet?

Lunch was actually delicious.

And now you too can channel your inner rhinoceros.

There is a beach right next to the art pile. Take a rest on the biggest porch swing you have ever been on.



Then art.




The exhibit spaces are exquisite.



Complementary Sigur Ros approved butt plugs for all. More about the stunning video installation here.

Ah yes. We are planning for 5/25/25. Looking at space and making plans.

Still, we had some fun in the exhibits.
And we got a look at some spaces behind the scenes. I mean, at least they are silver!

The main lobby was the focus of some more research.





Can’t wait to be here with our peeps!






There’s still some planning to be done! 5/25/25 here we come.

More art in Chicago, according to plan. The Art Institute of Chicago is one of the best art museums in the world.

The Chagall stained glass is, alone, worth the price of admission.





America, what has become of you?

But there’s lots more.


























Chicago, Chicago, It’s my kind of town.

We came to Chicago for art, and so art it was. On Sunday after arrival we had an excellent brunch at Marisol and then headed up to steep in the collection at the MCA.

No visit to the MCA is complete without a visit to the best stairway on the planet.

We are on a mission. Here is what we have learned so far.

The lot is full…of cameras and other surveillance equipment.


The guided tours can be joined spontaneously.

Elvis lives on through conjoined birthdays.


Love is the the air if you make him want you.

Death is just around the corner.


Curators get lucky with placement.



Pop art lives on (though it is pretty depressing).



YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO SHOOT ANY VIDEO LIKE THIS ONE.
Banana.

We await word from the Board with regards to our secret mission. Our fingers are crossed.

As always the art is up on 4. It’s up to you to figure out how to get there.

Word play was fun, but kind of annoying with a voicemail overdub droning on like a message from the ’80s.




Of course we interacted. We Obey!

The whale exhibit was a good idea with very lame execution. Maybe that was intentional? Who knows. Computers do much more than the rendering engine the artist decided to use was capable of doing.
Then there was the excellent work of Firelei Báez. Well worth the price of admission.






I have your nose.
