Thrilling...

"It’s thrilling to see an excellent exhibition of photographs conceived by a highly credentialed artist and curated by the informed and intelligent Hostetler."

A review of the Taryn Simon exhibition at MAM by By Judith Ann Moriarty of Third Coast Digest.  It is a good read but she is very cynical about the Milwaukee audience's ability to engage intellectually with Simon's work.  We should expect more from Milwaukee and I think that is what curator Lisa Hostetler is doing with grace. Challenging us with art, rather than entertain us... another Impressionism show? Really...

The Taryn Simon show is the kind of exhibition that the Milwaukee Art Museum should pursue. Enough cotton candy already.
