| CAN
YOU PUT YOUR REACTION TO THE HORRORS OF 9/11 ON A PAGE
NO LARGER THAN 8 1/2 x 11?
This was the
challenge posed late last year by EXIT
ART ... a
nonprofit gallery at 548 Broadway, in the neighborhood
of the devastated World Trade Center.
More than 2,000
works of art poured in from around the world ... not
only paintings, drawings, collages and photographs, but
even poetry, diary entries and musical scores. All
were hung cheek by jowl, whether by the famous or the
ubiquitous Anonymous.
The show will
close April 27 (extended from March 30, due to public and critical interest), but our archives at MOFA will be permanently enhanced by these
works chosen for us by one of the exhibition
coordinators.I
