John Baldessari, a California artist, has carpeted the floors of LACMA with images of white clouds against a blue sky and wallpapered the ceiling with Los Angeles freeways for 'Magritte and Contemporary Art' exhibition. HT
The installation looks cool and is truly ballsy, IMO. I've always been afraid, in exhibit design, to do anything that seemed too specifically similar to the work of the artist I was presenting, as if my design efforts were trying to elevate myself to the level of the focus of the show. But I guess if you're John Baldessari you can do that: and it looks awesome.
