It’s always a pleasure returning to DC’s National Mall…
where I like to keep an eye on my tax dollars by walking through the Smithsonian museums…
to inspect the work being done by museum curators on my behalf.
Aside from being a great depository of great aeronautical history at the National Air and Space Museum…
or interpretive history at National Museum of American History…
I’m always inspired when browsing through the Hirshhorn.
where I get a chance to meander beside the curvy gallery walls, as I contemplate Mark Bradford’s updated Civil War cyclorama detailing Pickett’s Charge…
or introspect on a retrospective of the 80’s, where everything is rele-vent again…
or think deeply in the basement, where I’m reminded by Barbara Kruger’s BELIEF+DOUBT installation that words matter…
…and can make a difference…something I’d rather be doing.

Would like to go to DC with Brian one of these days but not this year. Maybe next.

Ah, thanks for reminding me of the Hirshhorn! Barbara Kruger’s BELIEF+DOUBT has been there quite a while, but I haven’t seen the other exhibits. I was just at the National Mall last Saturday, but I didn’t stop into any of the museums as I was doing a 10 mile hike with a hiking group. Thanks for sharing this. 🙂

Kruger’s installation is nearly 6-years on display, but especially prescient in today’s political environment.
