For a hilarious take on the Barnes’ move to Center City, check out John Perreault’s Artopia post (image, Dr. Barnes, his puppy and his art).You may not be able to last the course–Perreault never heard about our short attention spans online; I confess to skipping a paragraph or two–but the highlights were:
1) the virtual museum proposal near the end
2) the cynical suggestion that the inhospitable, yawning spaces along the Parkway defy the kind of art-museum hopping that tout le monde keeps yakking about (thank god someone said this; I’ve been thinking about it all along; the prospect is more daunting than gallery-hopping in L.A.)
3) a building proposal that nearly gave me a stitch in my side from laughing.
