Cleveland and Ann Arbor: The Book Killed the Building
Right now we're staying with Lauren and Matt in Ann Arbor, MI, and they've been taking good care of us; they made us naan and some Indian food last night and then took us out and about Ann Arbor and Kerrytown.
On our way out of Cleveland we stopped at the MOCA in Ohio City. Olga Ziemska's work relating nature to human biological construction was on display. Recent bio art initiatives, Steve Kurtz, and the Critical Art Ensemble seemed to be in each of Ziemska's plaster fingernails.
Last night a woman exclaimed, "TAKE that jacket off it looks so Summer '99!"
Back to MOCA, they also had a large exhibit from OPEN, a variegated groups of architects, artists, advertising firms, indoor lighting consultants, and mad scientists designing new forms of public space around the globe. Challenges to reinvigorate dying "downtowns" are addressed in many of these OPEN exhibits, and concurrently we have been discussing these situations of drying up urban centers in Albany, Buffalo, Syracuse, and Cleveland with the people we've been staying with. Has the information superhighway killed your street yet? Anri Sala had these great plans to turn Cleveland into a rainforest.
Stop fighting in Little Italy!
