Sorry, Closed 15 January 2012

A photograph of my Marina City Condo (Chicago, IL USA) with me reading, French in Three Months, was on the wall of the Art Institute of Chicago (AIC). The photograph is part of the exhibit, Inside Marina City: This exhibit is a project of Iker Gil and Andreas E. G. Larsson.  It showed 17 September 2011– 15 January 2012 in AIC Gallery 286.

Andy Warhol said that “Everyone will be famous for 15 minutes”.  I have been on the AIC wall for 120 days, more than most people's 15 minutes and it has been a great deal of fun.  I stopped by the photo of me on Sun., 1/15/12 for my last look. 

Check out the United Airline poster of Marina City below.

If you saw the show and if you look closely at the Gil and Larsson photograph of my Marina Tower's Condo (and me) titled, The Reader, you could have seen some wind turbines, a PV cell, a hardhat for visiting wind and solar construction sites and my speaker's badge from WindPower 2007 where I presented my paper, The Current Technology and Economics of Storing Wind Electricity as Hydrogen, 3-6 June 2007, Los Angeles, CA.

Here I am standing in front of the Gil and Larsson photo!

The Gil and Larsson Exhibition, Inside Marina City, is a companion to the retrospective exhibition, Bertrand Goldberg: Architecture of Invention, 17 September 2011– 15 January 2012, AIC Galleries 283–285. Bertrand Goldberg was the architect of Marina City.
