Exhibits!

I went to see the Chihuly exhibit at the de Young museum in San Francisco, and yes, you should go. The exhibit made me think a lot about the affective experience of viewing color, as Chihuly's works are all based on color and form. Here's a link for the exhibit: http://www.chihulyatthedeyoung.org/

I am reminded to check our catalog to see what books and films we have on Chihuly. I will want to make sure we have a copy of Chihuly in the Hotshop, the film.

Also in San Francisco, at San Franciso Public Library:

Lots of great things going on at SFPL, including Bookworks 2008 on through September 26th and several photographic exhibits.

While I dearly love a day trip to SF, I also love being able to get a sense of the SFPL exhibits right from my desktop, like this online exhibit:

Enjoy!
