It was rather dumb actually with an incredibly overwrought artist's statement about cookware being made in China and Chinese immigrants opening restaurants. That said one of the greatest problems is that this sort of thing really is more the domain of folk art than fine art. It looked sort of vaguely like the city, but aside from a few recognizable areas and buildings it fell a bit flat. I also felt that it was oriented badly as there was a wall that prevented you from being able to orient forward as North which, specifically, made Market appear far less diagonal.

Wasn't there an artist who built SF out of Jell-O? Personally I'm all for this stainless silver city.

There are no windows. and stainless steel retains heat, but I guess I could work under one of those strainers.

That show sadly closed on Sunday at the Asian Art Museum. So if you missed it, you missed it.
