Above photo I took from the museum (see below) gift shop. Read on!In Chicago for business (and pleasure....of course!). Today, my plans were to visit the Contemporary Art Museum, but instead found myself at the Art Institute of Chicago. There's a newish art wing and during February, admission is FREE! I love free. Here's a photo (they would not let me take pics in there):
Am experiencing surprise interest in contemporary art. It makes no sense to me, I don't understand it (huge apologies to all my Museum Docent friends....you know who you are) but I love to look at it. I mean, a big rectangle all glossed out in red lacquer paint, on a bed of plank wood with some lighting to make it look even better is curated in a museum? Crazy stuff.

Above photo shows some of Chicago's famous architecture and a super freaky large face mural. It's different. You can only make out the face from afar. When you get close it disappears. Hmmmm.Well, it looks like it's going to snow. Goody.
