Past as Present Portraits

'Benches and Binoculars' Highlights Contemporary Art of the Past

'Benches and Binoculars' is a new exhibition that reminds us that all art was once contemporary. Just like your dad used to run fast and your mom used to be a smokin' hottie, the art featured in Beaches and Balconies was once avant-garde.

The Benches and Binoculars exhibit will be on display at the Walker Art Center until November 21, 2010.

Implications - If you're the kind of art lover who longs for a time when everything seemed simpler and cooler, this is just the kind of exhibit that will put some fresh wind in your sails. If you love art, don't miss the Benches and Binocular exhibit for your life!
