yeah one of my favorite guys . i love those works.

The exhibit is pretty amazing. I spent a silly amount of time staring at the nickle run off photos.

I took a group of students there recently, and they were very excited by the show and the museum. One student, from the Bronx, got out of the subway and said "this is the most beautiful place I have ever seen!"

wow!

it is a gorgeous show. I love the scale of the photographs and the minute details you can see in them. I should probably go back this weekend.

anyone know how long the exhibit will be there?

Brooklyn Museum first Saturday is this weekend:

Incidentally, this is one of my favorite things about the neighborhood. Looks like there is a gallery talk about that particular exhibit at 7pm.

till January 15

RAH and I went to that exhibit on Saturday, and I'm really glad we made it. It was phenomenal! The gallery tour was really interesting too.

For other people who caught this, were you also reminded of the film Koyaanisqatsi?

Haven't seen that film (and I cant even pronounce it). But the exhibit was spectacular! I was there saturday as well, in the afternoon. The shots of the Chinese manufacturing plants intrigued me... if China's military runs dry, they certainly have thousands of disciplined replacements.

If you liked the exhibit, you should definitely see that film.

Koyaanisqatsi is awesome. I first saw it in public school when one of my few amazing teachers showed it in our "current affairs" class.
