Hi Don, et.al. I sent a reply earlier in the week, but I don't think it went through...
I wish you had more time in the Chicago area while I was there - it would've been good to see you! We probably passed on the street and didn't know it. I was in town attending/presenting at a conference. Though I didn't see the works of any former professors, I did see lots of actual former professors. I did spend quite a bit of time at the Art Institute where I spent entirely too much time looking at the Cornell collection. Then went to the Mus. of Contemporary Art where I hoped to spend too much time in the Warhol exhibition, but aside from the films, it was lackluster (no surprise, really). The rest of the MCA was great, though. AND A BIG THANKS TO MADAWG who put me in touch with her dear friend John Held, Jr. John included me in a dinner gathering at the home of Picasso Gaglione where lovely Darlene prepared a delectable southwest feast. I spent entirely too much time looking at their rubber stamp collection, among other things, and enjoyed an evening with great company. Upon leaving, Picasso graced me with a Fluxus rubber stamp box-set from the days of yore, and John generously shared some of his Duchamp-inspired stamps. Thanks again, Madawg - Sorry I missed you, Don! Candace. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Don Boyd Sent: Saturday, March 25, 2006 7:57 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: FLUXLIST: Your Kind of Town? Candice, I just got back from Chicago. Was there from Tue., left Thurs. Wanted to see the African pots at the Art Institute but ran out of time and patience. Saw the Krannert though. It was good. Saw two of my former teachers' sculpture....Peter Fagan of Un. of Illinois and Mirko Basadella from Harvard Design School. What are you going to see in Chicago? -Don http://www.donaldboyd.blogspot.com/ http://fluxuswest.blogspot.com/ http://fluxusmuseum.blogspot.com/
