thanks fahmai. I (mostly) enjoyed this exhibition - but let's try to connect this to class somehow. I actually think this has a great deal to do with many of the topics we will be discussing later this semester - how to define innovation and creativity, remixing and recombination, the notion that all modern art relies heavily on homage/sampling/borrowing from others.
I agree with Marissa. I am actually going to the the LACMA with my Arts and Letters class to see these exhibits. I'll relay to the class my experience.
