art inst

My first museum in Chicago: the Art Institute of Chicago. It was a Sunday, the last day of Jasper Jones's Gray exhibit. In Poland when you go to an exhibit on the last day you'd better prepare for some elbowing, well, not here.
Lukasz said he was disappointed with the exhibit, I quite liked it, Aga liked it a lot, but she says she likes gray color, that's why. What I liked the most, though was the way in which the exhibit was organized, there were I think about ten big rooms, each focusing on a different aspect but it was all very coherent, sort of flowing one into the other.
What we all liked was Girls on the Verge: Portraits of Adolescence, a series of photographs of young girls from all around the world. Some time ago there was a coverage on it by Wysoki Obcasy. Can you see peer pressure steaming in this pic? Don't even let me started on American teenager girls...
With love, grandma
