College Art Association Annual Meeting in Chicago; random thoughts

The plane to Chicago for the College Art Association (CAA) Annual Meeting left from a concourse I rarely use so I saw different art than usual  as part of the airport’s Exhibition Program,  which certainly provides the best distraction I’ve found at Philadelphia International Airport.  Nick Kripal’s Swarm was a terra cotta landscape of an alternative, multi-culti character with forms cribbed from the kitchen cabinets; what looked like a Moorish dome turned out to have been cast from a pudding mold!  I’d love to see him do animations based on them.
