My friend Nicole who works at The Dallas Museum of Art turned me on to this article about Mei Mei and Richard in a recent edition of The New York Times. The Museum will be opening the Richard Tuttle retrospective on July 16 - the show that was in SF this past Fall.

In other Museum-related news, Capturing Motion opened this weekend. Kort and I stopped at the DMA before the A-KON conference and got to see my poem "Flower, 1949" installed in the galleries. The visual text is on a green background, with the text in blue, red, and black. The poem is on the left wall of the gallery, while the other two walls, behind and to the right of the Alex Calder sculpture are white. I will get some digital snaps from the Museum at some point, but what was interesting were the branches of the sculpture which framed the stanzas of the poem in such a way that it seemed more than coincidence or a happy accident. The lighting of the sculpture produced round discs on the floor of the gallery which mirrored the movement of the poem text as well. Other artworks included in the show are two Berenice Abbot photographs, a John Pomara painting, a Roy Lichtenstein and a few other pieces. Find out more about it here.

And the Louis Tiffany show on view was also pretty amazing. Jewelry designs, windows, lamps and other objets d'arts.
