About the Contemporary Jewish Museum just opened in San Francisco and designed by Daniel Libeskind; "Where traditional modern buildings were usually simple Platonic shapes, these buildings seem to be falling apart, or bursting outward. Once avant garde, this trend, sometimes labeled deconstructivism, is now mainstream," says the article in San Jose Mercury News. | Museum building | admirin' | what's inside?

I swear, every single one of his buildings looks exactly like the sleeveless T-shirt I decorated with zigging-zagging lines of black electrical tape when I was 15 in 1982. In other words, exactly like Eddie Van Halen's red, white and black guitar.
The rest of us have managed to move past the '80s, why can't Libeskind? Or, for that matter, his clients?
he is going to be responsible for how jewish image is going to be recalled in public mind. i wonder if anybody would be allowed to critique that?
