WONDER

If you have the chance to visit the renovated Smithsonian Renwick Gallery in Washington DC, please go. The 150-year story of the building itself carries a history worth studying including being saved from demolition by Jackie Kennedy. Reopening in November 2015 after major renovations, the initial exhibition is simply called, Wonder. Nine contemporary and cutting-edge artists brought their large scale installations to the historic building. Each installation is only truly appreciated in person due to the color, large-scale, and particularly the lighting. The juxtaposition between the art and the brick & mortar structure is something special. Please visit before May 2016, when Wonder begins to leave the museum. It's something you'll never forget. Wonder.
