A contemporary museum generally houses some of the most bizarre shows by virtue of being contemporary. Contemporary leaves the doors open to the unexplored or unexplained. That can be good or bad. On the day I walked through the museums doors I happened to catch some of the really good.
I was first delighted by the museums sleek exterior. More delighted when my triple AAA card got me a pretty decent discount on admission. And finally, I was in heaven when I saw there was a photography show on view.
The museum is spacious and a good house for the creative visions of artists to crystalize. At the same time--the museum can also accommodate more traditional exhibits like the one I saw. SMoCA is a valuable switch-hitter in the art world!
