Last Chance to Walk on Clouds & Discuss the Merits of a Big Fat Pipe
The delicious, outstanding, mind-altering Magritte show at LACMA is over on Sunday, March 4th. John Baldessari has done a bang-up job presenting Magritte's work in a new context, free from the apple/bowler hat, ceci n'est pas une pipe cliches his work so often calls to mind.
We’d normally say something like: run, don’t walk to the show. It’s that good. You only have six days to make it happen so you need to hustle. Yet that would be so cliché. So expected. What would Baldessari have to say about that?
But. Well. It is that good. So what the hell? Run, don’t walk. You’ll be glad you did.

thanks for the reminder. i went once already at the very beginning but had been meaning to go again. i thought it ended in april so i would have missed it completely.

I don't especially like Magritte's stuff, so I liked this exhibit because it was his stuff in the context of other artists and their work. Kind of cool.
I bet it will be crazy, though, on the last week. I'd recommend going during the week & don't miss the Magritte shop!
