Contemporary: Special Things

Rachel (at the Pultizer) and I had a very exciting meeting this morning to further discuss the (drum roll, please) redesign of the blog! We're both thrilled with the idea of launching a new design that will incorporate some new features (better photo albums) and better respresent our dinstinct institutions coming together to share a virtual place. Honestly, right now, it's all excitement and ideas, so we'll have more to share with you as we travel this journey - and you'll be seeing the end result soon.  We realize we're probably more excited than you are, at this point, but we won't disappoint!

On a Contemporary note, we have two special tidbits to share today.  First, the review of our local arts critic appeared in the Post Dispatch yesterday, and you may read it online if you haven't seen it yet. The other bit I want to share is a slide slow - Tim Hailand, a New York photographer friend of Jim Hodges, came to the opening of the exhibition and created a web diary of Jim's visit to St. Louis. You can view it online (update - 2/7/07: here's a link to a slicker version)- and it's beautiful. Enjoy! (Jennifer)
