What are You Seeing on Your Summer Vacation?
The Christian Science Monitor runs a piece today asking three museum directors and a curator what they are traveling to see this summer. Should it come as a surprise that Malcolm Rogers is into horse and hound painting?
As for me, I'm just back from a quick trip to Barcelona, but I didn't have a chance to see anything of note. The one day that I had some free time was MACBA's closed day. I'm heading back the week after next, but by then the Francis Alÿs show there will already have closed. Drat.
I am, though, going to get a chance to see the Flavin retrospective in Chicago in a couple weeks. I've been trying to finagle a viewing of that for what feels like a year now, and I've finally been able to make it happen.
