Gehry and Minneapolis





Yesterday Jill and I went to the Weisman Art Museum at the University of Minnesota. We are in Minneapolis for The Big Read orientation, and managed to get some work on the modernism exhibit done as well.

The Weisman Art Museum is amazing. It is located in a building designed by architect Frank Gehry on the banks of the Mississippi River. So of course, the building is a work of art itself. Once inside, you see a collection of modern and contemporary art housed in some breathtaking gallery spaces.

We met briefly with Diane, who took time out of her busy schedule of installing two exhibitions. While the meeting was short, it was one of the more productive ones we have had yet. Let's just say, discovered a new artist and have a lead on a possible venue to host the exhibition.
