A Weekend Filled With Art

Summer time in the city. What a great time specially if the city is the city of Chicago. I love New York but I love Chicago better. A weekend of art filled events in a city that does not take for granted the few months of sun, warmth and the joy of outside activities. I spent five hours this past sunday inside the new modern wing at The Art Institute Of Chicago and was not able to complete viewing the entire new wing. Here are images of my chronological tour from contemporary art, 1945-60 and after 1960, a film and a video and after that a fast walk across Monroe street to the Millennium Park where families, bikers, tourists and myself enjoyed the sunset while the children walked and played on the water that spranged from the two glass cubic structure facing each other.while projections of everyday became visible. It seemed to me that this park surrounded by so much visual stimulation brought people together from all parts of the world and it was there that I realized how much we here in Dallas are missing out on an opportunity to enjoy life and to learn to have a greater appreciation for the arts.
