attended a reception at lacma last night for the tim burton retrospective and later played tourist in our own city, snapshotting our way in and around chris burden's urban light sculpture at the museum entrance.
the exhibit is vast and wondrous, showcasing burton's entire diverse career. we got in just before the long line started to snake around the building and though i am not the worlds biggest tim burton fan, i really enjoyed seeing inside the imaginative, ironic and humor colored world that encompasses his movie and animation magic.
burden's sculpture, the 200+ vintage street lamps at the entrance to the museum, light up after sunset and are as beautiful and iconic as any city art installation in recent memory. they are a visitor magnet on the museum grounds and guaranteed to bring out the joyful kid with a camera in you.
