Turn On the Bright Lights

It irritates me to no end that I have to wait until tomorrow to see Dan Flavin's retrospective at the National Gallery of Art when critical articles are already sprouting everywhere. If geography prevents you from seeing the show at all, you can watch WaPo chief art critic Blake Gopnik tour the show. (I'm not clicking anything—my ears are plugged, my eyes are sealed.)

This is the show of the moment, isn't it? Very jealous. I may need to schlep down to D.C. Otherwise I'll be making do with photography shows up here all season.

The Gopnick thing is pretty good, if a little annoying at times. I can't forget seeing one of Flavin's works (a "Monument for V. Tatlin") at the Walker ten or so years ago. Coming on it unexpectedly, in a small, chapel-like space, and encountering the sharp sensation of so much white fluorescence in a focused, contained area - it was, as they say, intense, man.
