Re: Western Bridge

The Trues are really focused on getting area students in to see their collection. They spoke about their desire to make contemporary art accessible and enjoyable (which the stuff in the current show definitely is) to a broad audience. I hope area schools make use of it. I certainly will.
The next two shows they have in the works are a sound installation by Jeremy Deller (I think) Bill Fontana that will utilize the entire space, and later Martin Creed's Half the Air in a Given Space, shown here at the Johnen Gallery in Cologne. I'm looking forward to experiencing them both, but I also feel a little selfish and wish that the gallery had provisions for showing more of the collection at once. This, of course, is difficult when you're dealing with such large-scale work, like Paul Morrison's mesophyte that currently fills the largest space in the building.
I think someone said last night that the Henry is going to be hosting another selection of work from the True's collection this summer, so that should at least partially satisfy my curiosity.
