As I was leaving the Final Friday event at the Denver Art Museum (The DAM) Friday night, there was an art talk going on just in front of the entrance. Mexico City designers Hector Esrawe and Ignacio Cadena were discussing their interactive art installation titled La Musidora. I can only describe it as an extended row of colorful lounge chairs, dove-tailed so that each person is facing the person next to them, encouraging conversation and interaction with your neighbor.
As you can see from the photograph on the right, the exhibit seems to be a great success. I get the feeling from the talk that the installation was designed specifically for the plaza in front of the museum. What I want to know is whether the museum bought it outright, and whether it will remain where it currently is from now on? Is it safe to leave it out in the elements? How much did they pay for it? Is it theft-proof? And does it come with a warranty? The people in the photograph don't seem to care, however. They are just enjoying a pleasant, cool evening in Denver. More power to them.
