The ever-marvelous Menil Collection is opening a Beuys show next month. In cooperation with the Tate. I'm pretty excited about this, even though I always have the feeling, when looking at Beuys' objects, that I'm missing out on the main thing. The bits that ended up in the museum seem like pale shadows of the projects themselves. But I'm not complaining...
Looks like a few drives down to Houston are in order. Maybe I'll finally make it to Ikea, too.

um, yes. See, the nearest Ikea is in Houston...although I'm sure there's some other deeper comparison there, art in the everyday or something.
