Azure, the magazine about art, architecture, design and interiors, tackles a touchy subject that should set the chattering classes abuzz: a cover story in its September issue by John Bentley Mays, asks pointedly about the Daniel Liebskind-designed Michael Lee-Chin Crystal addition to the venerable Royal Ontario Museum.Easy to hate, impossible to simply like, does the Crystal show the future or simply mirror our showbizzy present?
the crystal wing looks like a Canadian Tire garden shed assembled by a crackhead... only not that good.
ReplyDeletetho it complements the ROM's gaudy and ill-conceived exhibition designs.
if only the ROM took several of those wasted crystal millions and actually invested in some quality pieces for their mostly halfass collection.
I love the new extension of the ROM, its really great architecture and provocative, makes the ROM and Toronto a world class city, the same as Balboa or Paris... think of it, the Eiffel tower was hated when it was presented at the universal fare and now imagine Paris without it.
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, you're so right. Now Toronto is exactly like Paris. Only without the French. And the culture. And the architecture.
ReplyDeleteFool.
You are so right
ReplyDeletethere is only one good culture
fool yourself
