Here in Madison, WI, we used to have an artist couple living in what you might call a "crunchy granola" (hippy/punk/vegetarian/pc) section of town, (at least when I first moved here it was). By the way, I'm using the description not to make fun or pass judgement, but to give you a feel of what the neighborhood is like. Anyway, these two owned a house on the main drag in this neighborhood, and little by little, art began to spill out of their house and onto the lawn. Thus was born the "Museum of Temporary Art". Some of the "things" were amazing! others just stupid. Anyway, thats my contribution to this discussion. By the way, those two artists now live on a farm in rural WI and are running sort of an artist colony, as it was described to me "an artistic place to crash). Bye.....Allison Smith [log in to unmask]
