Simple is Best

Tuesdays at the MCA (Museum of Contemporary Art) are free so I swung by to check out their new exhibits-- Liam Gillick's minimalist sculpture/installation pieces on the ground floor and the "Italics, Italian Art between Revolution and Tradition 1968-2008" on the third. It's funny, despite being a photographer, I'm usually drawn to minimalist, colorful, design-driven pieces at gallery and museum shows. The photo above is of one of my favorite pieces in the Italics show-- an installation piece consisting of long metal trays filled with colored pigments and glass. I wish I'd written down the artist name... I'm not even sure of the title of the piece or the year it was originally produced (most likely the last 1960s or early '70s).
