invisible

visited the art institute today - with my new (xmas gifted) membership card, so i got free Intellegensia coffee, mmmm. the Light Years: Conceptual Art and the Photograph, 1964-1977 was pretty amazing, and very hard to get through. the show is large and fairly packed, in addition to most of it being dry and/or cerebral. dear AIC, perhaps 'exhaustively as possible' was not the best way to attend to this type of artwork. i can only imagine how inaccessible this is for people without an art background. anyway, i will need to spend more time with it, but some things do stick out:

 Victor Burgin - Photopath (inkjet prints on vinyl) 2011 (first created 1967) [this was in the foyer of the modern wing - but still part of the show. taken with my phone]

Giovanni Anselmo - Invisible (slide and slide projector) 1971 [not the actual piece from the show - photography is ironically not aloud in the photography show. the exhibited version is red and it projects onto the bodies of visitors when they enter the gallery]

plus, Baldessari and Le Witt rocked the house. (ps - lots of white men in this show)
