Museum of Modern Ice

I can't say that I really ever thought of painting on ice. However, someone did. Gordon Halloran. Not only that, he figured out how to keep it frozen. Honestly, the engineering was as intriguing as the actually artwork.

Saturday Katka and I went up to Millennium Park to take a break from resume and cover letter writing. The Chicago Cultural Center has interesting exhibits and they are all free. We took in all the exhibits in the Center and then headed over to the Park. The Museum of Modern Ice is one big display with 2 sides: one side of large blocks in variegated color spectrum and one side of combination blocks and long skinny pieces like icicles. I personally liked the skinny pieces better.
Enjoy the pics of the display and of me and Katka.

Katka actually looked better in front of the blue section, but for some reason I couldn't get the picture to flip upright, so this one goes on the blog:-) I've been having trouble editing my pics from my camera.

By the way, do you like the new haircut?

WOW! That looks so cool! I would never think of painting on ice either! But it sure works well in that exhibit! Cute haircut too!

You look great! And how cool that you went to that exhibit. Hubby was going to take me to the Tampa Museum of Art tonight for "Art After Dark." But we still feel lousy and we don't want to give the kids' germs to Grandma, so home we are. . .
