I don't normally give shout outs to other museums but I thought this one was too interesting to pass up. Our friends on the other side of the state (Missouri, that is) at the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis, have announced a special event that is near and dear to my heart (or to my taste buds).
Spencer Finch: Sunset (St. Louis, July 31, 2008) is a new installation that is part of the Light Project at the Pulitzer Foundation for the Arts.
The event is a plein air ice cream stand that is powered by solar energy. Beginning Sept. 4 and ending Oct. 17, visitors may receive a free ice cream cone from the stand. According to the Contemporary's website, the ice cream stand will "Offer what the artist calls an 'edible monochrome' and a landscape painting, the ice cream evokes a St. Louis sunset with the shifting colors Finch observed from the Contemporary’s rooftop."
How brilliant!
