On a Night Like This

It was so beautiful out tonight that I wish I could overlook that the National Park Service and St. Louis Art Museum declined to exhibit a thought provoking piece of art. I chalk it up to the small minded and narrow thinking silliness that seems to pervade St. Louis.

The question I ask is how does the St. Louis Art Museum turn down hosting this piece? To quote Kay Porter, the Director of Communication, "The question we had for the Washington University people was the relevance the project had for our building...." Oh, gosh, gee...something relevant at the art museum - I forgot they're running that incredibly relevant show about moccasins.

After the Friday gallery walk in the Central West End, Stephen and I headed down to see this projection and sound piece, which was very moving and poignant. There was no blood - no gore - no over-the-top artiness. I just don't get what the fuss was about. But then again, I don't get half the crap that happens in this goofy little town.

I've been googling Minneapolis for the past half hour. A Rhoda Road Trip may be in my future soon!
