Brad Cloepfil, architect of the Museum of Arts and Design (alias MAD)
I’ve just learned a new tech trick. Click here to see my captioned slideshow of the Museum of Arts and Design.
As you will see, both the museum and my slideshow have some foibles. I don’t know why the photos look blurrier than they would if I merely posted them on the blog, and I can’t eliminate the ad that appears on the top. The slideshow is hosted free on a website (not ArtsJournal) that inserts its own advertising. When you access the slideshow, you have to scroll down a bit to find the arrow you must click to go to the next slide.
CultureGrrl‘s multimedia frills, like the new museum, are still a work in progress.
For more of my MAD commentary, go here, here and especially, here—my tirade against NY Times architecture critic Nicolai Ouroussoff, who (in this weekend’s “Arts & Leisure” section) advocated the demolition of the just-opened museum facility.
Maybe he should give it at least a few months to grow on him, before calling in the wrecking crew.
