The paintings are clustered about the walls, many of them positioned well above the heads of viewers, which presents Marcel Duchamp's Nude Descending a Staircase No. 2 from an especially striking position. Sculpture busts, including one by Amadeo Modigliani, are stationed in front of the paintings, revealing how displays of different types of art were often closely integrated during the pre-World War I era. ]]> http://calitreview.com/7012/feed 0 http://calitreview.com/6087 http://calitreview.com/6087#comments Mon, 11 Jan 2010 18:49:20 +0000 Alix McKenna http://calitreview.com/?p=6087 http://calitreview.com/6087/feed 0 http://calitreview.com/6016 http://calitreview.com/6016#comments Mon, 04 Jan 2010 15:31:35 +0000 Jane Friedman http://calitreview.com/?p=6016 http://calitreview.com/6016/feed 0 http://calitreview.com/5656 http://calitreview.com/5656#comments Wed, 02 Dec 2009 14:12:06 +0000 Alix McKenna http://calitreview.com/?p=5656 Tim Burton is already a wildly popular show. As throngs of families, film buffs and multi-pierced hipsters make their way through the narrow hallway, you are forced along at a fairly rapid pace. In the background, a museum employee occasionally shouts that this part of the exhibit is available online to remind you that lingering is not an option.]]> http://calitreview.com/5656/feed 5 http://calitreview.com/5547 http://calitreview.com/5547#comments Mon, 30 Nov 2009 15:16:38 +0000 Judith Harris http://calitreview.com/?p=5547 http://calitreview.com/5547/feed 0 http://calitreview.com/5446 http://calitreview.com/5446#comments Mon, 16 Nov 2009 13:59:59 +0000 Alix McKenna http://calitreview.com/?p=5446 http://calitreview.com/5446/feed 0 http://calitreview.com/5339 http://calitreview.com/5339#comments Mon, 09 Nov 2009 14:20:22 +0000 Ed Voves http://calitreview.com/?p=5339 http://calitreview.com/5339/feed 1 http://calitreview.com/5260 http://calitreview.com/5260#comments Tue, 03 Nov 2009 15:44:38 +0000 Alix McKenna http://calitreview.com/?p=5260 Shapeshifter (2000), an enormous, abstracted whale skeleton built entirely out of white plastic chairs. Jungen’s leviathan is hung in front of a simple black wall and the contrast of colors intensifies its extraordinary power.

You can easily imagine the enormous tale with its graceful, individually-carved vertebrae swinging to life. ]]> http://calitreview.com/5260/feed 1 http://calitreview.com/4931 http://calitreview.com/4931#comments Mon, 12 Oct 2009 14:18:46 +0000 Ed Voves http://calitreview.com/?p=4931 http://calitreview.com/4931/feed 6 http://calitreview.com/4513 http://calitreview.com/4513#comments Mon, 17 Aug 2009 13:17:31 +0000 Carmela Ciuraru http://calitreview.com/?p=4513 http://calitreview.com/4513/feed 0 http://calitreview.com/4421 http://calitreview.com/4421#comments Thu, 06 Aug 2009 14:24:35 +0000 Judith Harris http://calitreview.com/?p=4421 http://calitreview.com/4421/feed 0 http://calitreview.com/4149 http://calitreview.com/4149#comments Wed, 29 Jul 2009 14:45:23 +0000 Rose Lejeune http://calitreview.com/?p=4149 http://calitreview.com/4149/feed 1 http://calitreview.com/2937 http://calitreview.com/2937#comments Wed, 08 Apr 2009 15:43:02 +0000 Ed Voves http://calitreview.com/?p=2937 http://calitreview.com/2937/feed 1 http://calitreview.com/2842 http://calitreview.com/2842#comments Wed, 01 Apr 2009 02:07:27 +0000 Rose Lejeune http://calitreview.com/?p=2842 http://calitreview.com/2842/feed 2 http://calitreview.com/2768 http://calitreview.com/2768#comments Mon, 23 Mar 2009 02:39:17 +0000 Judith Harris http://calitreview.com/?p=2768 http://calitreview.com/2768/feed 5 http://calitreview.com/2609 http://calitreview.com/2609#comments Mon, 23 Feb 2009 14:50:22 +0000 Ed Voves http://calitreview.com/?p=2609 http://calitreview.com/2609/feed 2 http://calitreview.com/2320 http://calitreview.com/2320#comments Tue, 20 Jan 2009 14:43:23 +0000 Paul Comstock http://calitreview.com/?p=2320 http://calitreview.com/2320/feed 1 http://calitreview.com/2168 http://calitreview.com/2168#comments Mon, 12 Jan 2009 15:09:37 +0000 Paul Comstock http://calitreview.com/?p=2168 http://calitreview.com/2168/feed 1 http://calitreview.com/1624 http://calitreview.com/1624#comments Mon, 17 Nov 2008 14:29:53 +0000 Paul Comstock http://calitreview.com/?p=1624 http://calitreview.com/1624/feed 1 http://calitreview.com/875 http://calitreview.com/875#comments Tue, 19 Aug 2008 14:43:55 +0000 Paul Comstock http://calitreview.com/?p=875 http://calitreview.com/875/feed 156 http://calitreview.com/747 http://calitreview.com/747#comments Mon, 16 Jun 2008 13:09:00 +0000 Ed Voves http://calitreview.com/?p=747 http://calitreview.com/747/feed 4 http://calitreview.com/570 http://calitreview.com/570#comments Thu, 17 Apr 2008 13:03:57 +0000 Rich Black http://calitreview.com/topics/music/570/ http://calitreview.com/570/feed 0 http://calitreview.com/369 http://calitreview.com/369#comments Tue, 26 Feb 2008 14:50:06 +0000 Ed Voves http://calitreview.com/topics/art/369/ http://calitreview.com/369/feed 2 http://calitreview.com/313 http://calitreview.com/313#comments Thu, 14 Feb 2008 15:35:47 +0000 Judith Harris http://calitreview.com/2008/02/14/erotic-art-of-ancient-pompeii/ http://calitreview.com/313/feed 7 http://calitreview.com/298 http://calitreview.com/298#comments Tue, 18 Dec 2007 16:44:44 +0000 Martino Fagiuoli http://calitreview.com/2007/12/18/photographs-from-havana-deco/ http://calitreview.com/298/feed 1 http://calitreview.com/224 http://calitreview.com/224#comments Fri, 15 Jun 2007 17:20:17 +0000 Paul Comstock http://calitreview.com//2007/06/15/an-interview-with-louis-kahn-biographer-carter-wiseman/ http://calitreview.com/224/feed 6 http://calitreview.com/48 http://calitreview.com/48#comments Mon, 26 Mar 2007 15:52:01 +0000 Alain de Botton http://calitreview.com//essays/architecture-and-modernism/ http://calitreview.com/48/feed 3 http://calitreview.com/46 http://calitreview.com/46#comments Mon, 26 Mar 2007 15:43:03 +0000 Ed Voves http://calitreview.com//uncategorized/art-for-a-new-gilded-age/ http://calitreview.com/46/feed 2
